[Verse 1]
You came in hot
With that look on your face
Two cents ready
Like they owned the place
I held my tongue
Let it hang in the air
You kept on talking
Like I needed you there
[Pre-Chorus]
But I read it clear
From the first little swing
You were set on a speech
Not a real damn thing
Save it, save it
Keep it in your chest
I don't need the noise
I don't need the test
[Chorus]
I did not ask
I did not ask
Back up, back up
Save your facts (I did not ask)
I did not ask
I did not ask
Keep it moving now
Let that pass (I did not ask)
[Verse 2]
You dropped your verdict
Like it came from above
Heavy on the ego
Light on the love
I watched you fold it
Into your own parade
While I sat still
And let the moment fade
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you want a nod
Now you want my time
Now you want me smiling
At the end of the line
Save it, save it
You can keep that frame
I’m not your crowd
I’m not your stage
[Chorus]
I did not ask
I did not ask
Back up, back up
Save your facts (I did not ask)
I did not ask
I did not ask
Keep it moving now
Let that pass (I did not ask)
[Bridge]
Funny how loud
A person gets
When nobody begged
For the comments yet
So take that ring
Off your own hand
I’m drawing a line
You can understand
[Final Chorus]
I did not ask
I did not ask
Back up, back up
Save your facts (I did not ask)
I did not ask
I did not ask
Keep it moving now
Let that pass (I did not ask)
