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 don't wanna breatheI 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 stoneAlmost 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 mineWish 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 stoneYeah, 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 its said and done remainI wish I was cold as stone
I wish I was cold as stoneI wish I was cold as stone
Then I wouldn't feel a thing
I 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 aloneI wish I was cold as stone
I wish I was cold as stone
