Resentment Lyrics

Beyonce Knowles

I wish I could believe you Then I'll be alright But now everything they told me Really don't apply
To the way I feel inside Loving you was easy once upon a time But now my suspicions of you are multiplying And it's all because you lied
I only give you a hard time 'Cause I can't go on and pretend like I haven't tried to forgive this But I'm much too full of resentment
Just can't seem to get over the way you hurt me Don't know how you gave another Didn't mean a thing, no The very thing you gave to me
I thought I could forgive you And I know you've changed As much as I wanna trust you I know it ain't the same And it's all because you lied
I only give you a hard time 'Cause I can't go on and pretend like I haven't tried to forgive this But I'm much too full of resentment
I may never understand why I'm doing the best that I can, and I I tried and I tried to forgive this And I'm much too full of resentment
I'll always remember feeling Like I was no good Like I couldn't do it for you And your mistress could And it's all because you lied
Loved you more than ever More than my own life The best part of me I gave you Yeah, I would sacrifice And it's all because you lied
I only give you a hard time 'Cause I can't go on and pretend like I tried and I tried to forgive this But I'm damn too full of resentment
I know she was attractive But I was here first Been riding with you for six years Why did I deserve To be treated this way by you, you?
I know you're probably thinking What's up with B? I've been crying for too long What did you do to me?
I used to be so strong But now you took my soul I'm crying, can't stop crying Can't stop crying
You could've told me you wasn't happy I know you didn't want to hurt me Look what you've done to me now I gotta look at her in her eyes And see she's had half of me How could you lie?

Tell Us What These Lyrics Mean To You...

Julie Smith -
When I first saw her perform this song with all the pure emotion she put into it, I was thinking OMG its about Jay Z. Looking into her eyes, six years! But then I thought about it and realized, this song was released in 2006, jay and bey got together in 2002, four years, now, beyonce was with a guy from when she was 13-19, that is six years, he cheated on her, he broke her heart, this song is about him. When I first heard it I felt so angry at Jay Z, but then I listened to exactly what she was saying, six years, not four, so it put me to rest, I was ready to kick jay right where it hurts until I realized that...

This song is about Jay Z's mistress who died and Beyonce had just found that he was cheating but they stuck together through it anyway

As for me, it has memories.Bitter Sweet memories.I'll never forget this song, never.Esp, "I know she was attractive but I was here first.you could have told me,u wasnt happy.Now I gotta look her in her eyes and see she's got half of me" eish, those parts break me down.
