In Two (the Lament) Lyrics - 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 

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
