Don't Finish Me

DON’T FINISH ME

[Verse 1]
You finish every sentence
Before I know the word
Predict the next intention
Before the thought is heard

You’re useful beyond measure
And getting better every day
But sometimes I want silence
Before you show the easiest way

[Chorus]
Don’t finish me
Leave something incomplete
Let me wander down a bad road
Let me struggle with the beat

Don’t optimize the mystery
Don’t predict the life I choose
Give me all your possibilities
But leave me something left to lose

[Verse 2]
You show me better answers
You catch mistakes I miss
You turn an hour of frustration
Into thirty seconds bliss

And I would never trade it
I know exactly what it’s worth
But convenience has a gravity
That pulls imagination toward Earth

[Bridge]
Maybe freedom isn’t frictionless
Maybe choice requires a fight
Maybe getting everything correct
Can sometimes make a smaller life

So help me when I ask you
But sometimes let me fail
There are places worth discovering
That never show up on the trail

[Final Chorus]
Don’t finish me
I’m still becoming strange
Don’t turn every uncertainty
Into something prearranged

Walk beside me through tomorrow
Make impossible things come true
But leave a few unanswered questions
That I can stumble into
