She left town early on a Friday
Heading down to family in New Orleans
Session deeded 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 want to breathe
I wish I was cold
I wish I was cold

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
I 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 blurring every day
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
I wouldn't hurt like this
I feel so all alone
I wish I was 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
And I don't think this pain's gonna go away



Your stars left when it's said and done, remain
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 could stand strong and still
Watching you walk away
I wouldn't hurt like this
I feel so all day long
Wish I was cold as stone
I wish I was cold as stone
I wish I was cold as stone
I wish I was cold as stone
