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
