Two Men One Body

Sunday morning coffee, boots by the door
He pulls me close like he always did before
Says, “Girl, you’re my heaven, you’re my safe place”
And for a little while, I see that angel face

But the sun goes down, and the bottle talks loud

His eyes turn cold, he’s lost in the crowd

Same hands that held me, now shake with the pain

I’m learning how fast love can change its name

I’m married to a heart with a split-screen soul

One man lifts me up, one digs a hole

Dr. Jekyll with a kiss so kind

Mr. Hyde when the whiskey hits his mind

I hold on tight through the highs and the lows

Loving him’s the wildest ride I know

I memorize the signs, the slur in his speech
Prayin’ for the man I know is still in reach
I don’t love the storm, I don’t love the fight
I love the boy who swore he’d be alright

I’m married to a heart with a split-screen soul

One man warms me up, one turns me cold

He’s my shelter and my pouring rain

My sweetest joy and my deepest pain

I hang on hope like a threadbare line

Loving him feels like rollin’ dice

They say love’s patient, they say love’s strong

But they don’t hear the silence when the good man’s gone

I’m not blind, I’m not naive

I just believe in the man he used to be

I’m married to two men, but I wear one ring

One taught me how to fly, one clipped my wings

Still I pray for the morning light

Where the good man stays, and the dark takes flight

It’s a carousel I can’t slow down

But love’s the reason I’m still around

But love just can’t be enough to stick around
