She left town early on a Friday
Headin down to family in New Orleans
Said she needed to feel the sun on her face,
Talk it out with herself,
Try to get things straight.
Lord all I know is I dont wanna breathe.
I wish I was cold as stone,
Then I wouldnt feel a thing.
I wish I didnt have this heart,
Then I wouldnt know the sting of the rain.
I could stand strong and still,
Watching you walk away.
I wouldnt hurt like this,
Or feel so all alone.
I wish I was cold as stone.
Almost turned around in Mississippi,
Pulled over on the shoulder along the way.
Thought by now, Id be fine
But all these tears are blurring every line.
And I think back to when you were mine.
I wish I was cold as stone,
Then I wouldnt feel a thing.
I wish I didnt have this heart,
Then I wouldnt know the sting of the rain.
I could stand on my own
Letting your memory fade
I wouldnt hurt like this,
Or feel so all alone.
I wish I was cold as stone.
Yeah, its gonna take forever to get over you.
Oh, and I dont think this pains gonna go away.
Oh, scars left when its said and done remain.
I wish I was cold as stone.
I wish I was cold as stone.
I wish I was cold as stone,
Then I wouldnt feel a thing.
I wish I didnt have this heart,
Then I wouldnt know the sting of the rain.
I could stand strong and still,
Watching you walk away.
I wouldnt hurt like this,
Or feel so all alone.
I wish I was cold as stone.
I wish I was cold as stone.
