She left town early on the Friday
Heading 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
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 it
I could stand strong and still, watching you walk away
Wouldn't hurt that face, I feel so old and alone
Wish I was as cold as stone, almost turned around in Mississippi
Pulled over on the shoulder along the way
Thought by now, I'd be fine
But obvious tears are blurring every line
And I think back to when you were mine
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
Wouldn't hurt that face, I feel so old and alone
I wish I was as cold as stone
Yeah, it's gonna take forever to get over you
Oh, and I don't think this pain's gonna go away 
Oh, stars left with it, sad and dark 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
Wish I didn't have this heart
Then I wouldn't know the sting of the rain
I can stand strong and still, watching you walk away
I wouldn't hurt like this, I feel so old and alone
I wish I was cold as stone (I wish I was cold as stone)
