"Finish Something I Started" lyrics

"Finish Something I Started"

Easy, tiger. Hold up a minute
Your head says "yes". Your heart just isn't in it
What's the point? What does it matter
When the voice deep inside tells you to take a step up
But you fall down the ladder?

I've been tryna finish something I started
But my heart isn't in it, my heart isn't in it
I've wasted so much time remembering who I was
When my heart was in it, oh, my heart

Tired of waiting on the corner for Miss Should-Have-Been
In a long coat, beneath a lamppost in the rain
She's the temptress, seducer
She'll take you and she'll use you
And still you come back just the same

I've been tryna finish something I started
But my heart isn't in it, my heart isn't in it
I've wasted so much time remembering who I was
When my heart was in it, oh, my heart
Over again
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over

I've seen it clearly, somewhere on a distant shore
And I've tasted it before, but I can't feel it, feel it

I've been tryna finish something I started
But my heart isn't in it, my heart isn't in it
I've been tryna finish something I started
But my heart isn't in it, no, my heart isn't in it
Wasted so much time trying to remember who I was
When my heart was in it, oh, my heart
Over again
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
