She left town early on a Friday
Heading town to family in New Orleans
Says she's needed to feel sun on her face
Talk it out with herself, try to get things straight
Lord, all I know is I don't wanna breath

(Chorus:)
I wish I was cold as stone
Then I wouldn't feel afraid
Wish I didn't have this heart
Then I wouldn't know the sting of 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 long the way
Thought that 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 afraid
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
Ohh and I don't think this pain is gonna go away
Ohh stars let dwin it's said and done remain

Wish I was cold as stone
I wish I wish I was cold as stone

(Chorus:)
I wish I was cold as stone
Then I wouldn't feel afraid
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

I wish I was cold as stone
