Finish what you started

"Finish what you started" is a song by LorD and Master about a failing relationship. Based on a pair of royalty-free samples from sounds.com, the song casts the entire relationship into doubt ("was I ever what you wanted?").

Lyrics

Come and finish what you started 
Was I ever what you wanted? 
Come and finish what you started 
Was I ever what you wanted? 

Come and finish what you started 
Was I ever what you wanted? 
Come and finish what you started 
Was I ever what you wanted? 

You think I wanted to leave 
Think again 
You think I was OK with your endless string of men 

Nothing could be further from the truth 
But now we stand apart 
I wish I could present you with the proof 
It was broken from the start 

Come and finish what you started 
Was I ever what you wanted? 
Come and finish what you started 
Was I ever what you wanted? 

I have a box in which my heart resides 
I'll admit to secrets on both sides 
You'd think with age, you'd get more wise 
But that's not the case, to my surprise 

And now it seems to be too late 
The horse has bolted, close the gate 
The damage is done, time to palliate 

Come and finish what you started 
Was I ever what you wanted? 
Come and finish what you started 
Was I ever what you wanted? 

Come and finish what you started 
Was I ever what you wanted? 
Come and finish what you started 
Was I ever what you wanted?
