Kelly Rowland
I’ve Tried (Life Like This)
[Intro: Beyoncé]
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
You disloyal, perpetrating fool
After someone'd done so much for you
You can't use them for what they can give you
Then you just wake up and leave them
Don't you know that your blessings won't continue?
Your wrongdoings will all come back to you
Don't understand how your heart could be so cold
But one day, you'll know that you were wrong
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
When no else believed, I believed in you
When you'd deceived me, I'd forgiven you
Is that your way of returnin' the favour given to you?
Don't you know you hurt me?
Tell me, do you care about other people?
Tell me, where is your love for other people?
Your spirit's so selfish and your way's so evil
Don't you know you hurt me?
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I can no longer live life like this (Yeah, yeah)
I can no longer put up with this
I can no longer pretend like this
I can no longer give in like this
I've tried but I cannot live life like this
I've tried but I cannot put up with this
I've tried but I cannot pretend like this
I've tried but I cannot give in like this (Oh, no)
[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
You destroy lives of the people surrounding your life
Manipulating, that's so typical of someone that's ignorant
Love does not exist in their heart
But one day, all your darkness
Will come to light and you'll regret
All those lies that you lied and all those tears that I've cried
Oh darling, you'll be crying
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
When no else believed, I believed in you
When you'd deceived me, I'd forgiven you
Is that your way of returnin' the favour given to you?
Don't you know you hurt me?
Tell me, do you care about other people?
Tell me, where is your love for other people?
Your spirit's so selfish and your way's so evil
Don't you know you hurt me?
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I can no longer live life like this (Yeah, yeah)
I can no longer put up with this
I can no longer pretend like this (No, no)
I can no longer give in like this (No, no)
I've tried but I cannot live life like this (Don't you know that I've tried?)
I've tried but I cannot put up with this (Oh, oh, hey)
I've tried but I cannot pretend like this
I've tried but I cannot give in like this (Oh)
[Bridge: Beyoncé]
You've used too many people
And you've lied on many people
You've benefited off of people
Not contributing to these people
You say you love these people
Just to turn your back on people
I can no longer deal with people
That live their life as people like you
(Yeah-yeah, hey-yeah)
[Break: Beyoncé]
I've tried (I've tried)
I've tried (I've tried)
Can't live like this (Can't live like this)
Can't live like this (Can't live like this)
Don't you know? (Don't you know?)
Don't you know? (Don't you know?)
Don't you know you hurt me?
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I can no longer live life like this (Yeah, yeah)
I can no longer put up with this (Yeah)
I can no longer pretend like this
I can no longer give in like this (I've tried)
I've tried but I cannot live life like this (I've tried, I've tried)
I've tried but I cannot put up with this (I've tried)
I've tried but I cannot pretend like this
I've tried but I cannot give in like this (Oh, no)
I can no longer live life like this
I can no longer put up with this
I can no longer pretend like this
I can no longer give in like this
I've tried but I cannot live life like this
I've tried but I cannot put up with this
I've tried but I cannot pretend like this
I've tried but I cannot give in like this
I can no longer live life like this
I can no longer put up with this
I can no longer pretend like this
I can no longer give in like this
I've tried but I cannot live life like this
I've tried but I cannot put up with this
I've tried but I cannot pretend like this
I've tried but I cannot give in like this
[Outro: Beyoncé]
Can't live like this
