Broken-Hearted Girl
Beyoncé椀 Lyrics

You're everything I thought you never were
You don't fit the image of what I wanted in a partner, but I fell for you anyway.

And nothing like I thought you could've been
I didn't expect to fall in love with you, because you weren't what I imagined.

But still you live inside of me
You may have hurt me, but I can't seem to let go of my feelings for you.

So tell me, how is that?
I don't understand why I still love you despite everything that's happened between us.

You're the only one I wish I could forget
I wish I could erase you from my memory and move on.

The only one I love to not forgive
I can't forgive you for hurting me, but I still have feelings for you.

And though you break my heart
You constantly hurt me, but I can't help still loving you.

You're the only one
Despite everything, you're the only one I want.

And though there are times when I hate you 'cause I can't erase
Sometimes I hate you because I can't forget the pain you've caused me.

The times that you hurt me and put tears on my face
You've hurt me so much that tears have been my only release.

And even now while I hate you, it pains me to say
I hate that I'm still in love with you despite everything you've done to me.

I know I'll be there at the end of the day
No matter what, I'll still be here for you.

I don't wanna be without you, babe
I can't imagine my life without you in it.

I don't want a broken heart
I'm afraid of getting hurt again.

Don't wanna take a breath without you, babe
I feel like I can't breathe without you in my life.

I don't want to play that part
I don't want to be the broken-hearted girl anymore.

I know that I love you, but let me just say
I still love you, but I need to be honest about my feelings.

I don't wanna love you in no kind of way, no, no
I don't want to continue loving you if it means getting hurt over and over again.

And I don't want to play the broken-hearted girl
I don't want to be vulnerable to your hurtful behavior anymore.

Now I'm at a place I thought I'd never be, ooo
I've moved on from the hurt and am in a better place emotionally.

I'm living in a world that's all about you and me, yeah
Despite trying to move on, I still think about you all the time.

Ain't got to be afraid; my broken heart is free
I'm no longer afraid of being hurt because I've healed from my broken heart.

To spread my wings and fly away, away with you
I'm moving on from the heartbreak, and if you want to be a part of my life, you'll have to catch up.

Broken-hearted girl, no, no
I won't let myself be the broken-hearted girl anymore.

No broken-hearted girl
I'm no longer living my life in fear of getting hurt.
