I beg your finest pardon

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
