In Two (the Lament) Lyrics

Jennifer Knapp In Two (the Lament)

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

Oh have mercy on me I'm a girl
And 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
Oh, who's to blame?
You might be tired
But I'm not through fanning the flame

Oh have mercy on me I'm a girl
Well 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

Oh by the tidings of my tongue
I lie and sing what can't be unsung
Well my soul torn in two by the things that I say to you
By the things that I say

Oh have mercy on me I'm a girl
Well though I'm cruel and you cry
I won't shiver 'cause I, Lord I know how to break a man
I know how to break a man, I know how to break us man in two
