Cameron Whitcomb Medusa Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't have the time to hear you whine about a broken heart
She's a pistol-packin' matador and I'm the bull to taunt
I'm adoring this contortionist who warped my inner thoughts
But I was easy pickin's, she would listen and, boy, I loved to talk

[Pre-Chorus]
Mesmerizing eyes turned me into stone
And together I'm alone

[Chorus]
And I don't even want you back, even though you're all I have
My Medusa, I could use her 'til I crumble and I crack
And you don't ever cross my mind, but I've been known to tell white lies
My Medusa, I could usе her 'til I crumble and I crack
[Post-Chorus]
This concretе heart
This concrete heart, oh no

[Verse 2]
I'm obsessed with where the edge is and how close that I can get
I've been sitting on a nervous horse with a rope around my neck
I can hear those footsteps closing in, this stud's about to run
And I've hit this line a thousand times, God, I hope this is the one [Chorus]
And I don't even want you back, even though you're all I have
My Medusa, I could use her 'til I crumble and I crack
And you don't ever cross my mind, but I've been known to tell white lies
My Medusa, I could use her 'til I crumble and I crack

[Post-Chorus]
This concrete heart, oh yeah
This concrete heart, oh, no

[Bridge]
Lipstick on a glass of wine, a cigarette that's half of mine
I smoke until the ember burns my lips
And I know I've been broke before, but she's a pimp who needs a whore
And I've been known to sell my soul for less (One, two, three)
[Chorus]
And I don't even want you back, even though you're all I have
My Medusa, I could use her 'til I crumble and I crack
And you don't ever cross my mind, but I've been known to tell white lies
My Medusa, I could use her 'til I crumble and I crack

[Outro]
This concrete heart, oh yeah
This concrete heart, mm, yeah
This concrete heart
