She left town early on a Friday.
Heading 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 don t wanna breathe.
Wish I was cold as stone,
Then I wouldn t feel a thing.
Wish I didn t have this heart,
Then I wouldn t know the sting of the rain.
I could stand strong and still,
Watching you walk away.
I wouldn t 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 I d be fine,
But all these tears are blurring every line,
And I think back to when you were mine.
Wish I was cold as stone,
Then I wouldn t feel a thing.
Wish I didn t have this heart,
Then I wouldn t know the sting of the rain.
I could stand on my own,
Letting your memory fade.
I wouldn t hurt like this,
Or feel so all alone.
I wish I was cold as stone.
Yeah, it s gonna take forever to get over you.
Oh, and I don t think this pain s gonna go away.
Oh, scars left when it s said and done remain.
I wish I was cold as stone.
I wish I was cold as stone.
Wish I was cold as stone,
Then I wouldn t feel a thing.
Wish I didn t have this heart,
Then I wouldn t know the sting of the rain.
I could stand strong and still,
Watching you walk away.
I wouldn t hurt like this,
Or feel so all alone.
I wish I was cold as stone.
