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.
But all I know is I dont wanna breathe.

I wish I was cold as stone,
Then I wouldn't feel a thing.
I Wish I didnt have this heart,
Then I wouldn't know the sting of the pain.
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 bluring every line.
And I think back to when you were mine.

I wish I was cold as stone,
Then I wouldn't feel a thing.
I Wish I didnt have this heart,
Then I wouldn't know the sting of the pain.
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.

Yeah, it's gonna take forever to get over you.
Oh, and I dont think this pain's 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 wouldn't feel a thing.
I Wish I didnt have this heart,
Then I wouldn't know the sting of the pain.
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.
