Verse 1
You got quiet when the bar filled up
Talked big till the buzz wore off
Said I was “reading into stuff”
Funny how I kept being right
You’d disappear with your phone face down
Come back acting like nothing’s wrong
Girl, I ain’t here to teach respect
I just noticed when it’s gone
Chorus
So I beg your finest pardon,
But I’m done wasting time
You can keep that sideways loving,
I’ll be just fine
I don’t miss the tension,
Or the way you crossed that line
I beg your finest pardon,
But losing you ain’t losing mine
Verse 2
You liked the parts of me that paid
Liked the nights but not the name
Wanted space but wanted me
Right there when it suited you
I don’t do the back-and-forth
Or the guessing games you play
If I gotta fight for basic shit
That’s my sign to walk away
Chorus
So I beg your finest pardon,
But I’m done wasting time
You can keep that sideways loving,
I’ll be just fine
I don’t miss the tension,
Or the way you crossed that line
I beg your finest pardon,
But losing you ain’t losing mine
Bridge
There’s a beer sweating on the tailgate
Dust on my boots, moon hanging low
Got the band turned up just loud enough
To remember what I already know
I ain’t angry, I ain’t hurting
Just clearer than I’ve been in a while
Chorus
So I beg your finest pardon,
If you thought I’d stick around
I don’t chase what don’t want me
I just shut it down
You can say I never listened,
Say I’m cold or unkind
I beg your finest pardon,
But I left with everything that was mine
Outro
Yeah, I left with everything that was mine
