In Two (The Lament) - Jennifer Knapp

Finish up your coffee, love

It’s getting cold

Let’s finish up this fight tonight

Before the sun draws neigh and I’m old

Have mercy on me I’m a girl

Though I’m cruel and you cry

I won’t shiver cause I know how to break a man

I know how to break a man in two

Still you’re suffering, my love

O, who’s to blame?

You might be tired, but I’m not through fanning the flame

O, by the tiding of my tounge

I lie and sing what can’t be unsung

My soul torn in two by the things I say to you

By the things that I say

I know how to break us man, in two
