In Two (The Lament)

Lyrics by 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 a man
I know how to break us man, in two

I agree, her music is so truthful. This particular one cuts straight to my heart when things get out of hand here at home.

What does Aaron think of this song? It casts a dark shadow on you and how you might treat him.

You might want to reconsider what aspects of your marriage you make public.
