[Verse 1]

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 breathe

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Wish I was cold as stone

I wish I was cold as stone

[Chorus]

I 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

Wish I was cold as stone

I wish I was cold as stone
