[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
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

Then I wouldn't feel a thing
Wish I didn't have this heart
Then I wouldn't know the sting of the rain

[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
