Cold as Stone
Lady Antebellum Lyrics

She left town early on a Friday
She departed on a Friday, with the intention to visit family in New Orleans.

Headin' down to family in New Orleans
She's on a road trip to visit her relatives in New Orleans.

Said she needed to feel the sun on her face
She explained that she needed the warmth of the sun on her face to help her think things through.

Talk it out with herself
She wanted to have a conversation with herself to seek clarity on something.

Try to get things straight
She wanted to get her thoughts and feelings sorted out.

Lord all I know is I don't wanna breathe
She's hurting so much that she doesn't want to breathe anymore.

I wish I was cold as stone
She wishes she could be numb and not feel any emotions.

Then I wouldn't feel a thing
Being emotionally detached would eliminate the pain she's feeling.

Wish I didn't have this heart
She wished that she wasn't capable of love, so she wouldn't feel heartbroken.

Then I wouldn't know the sting of the rain
She wouldn't be affected by life's hardships if she was emotionless.

I could stand strong and still
If she didn't have feelings, she would be able to move forward without becoming emotionally overwhelmed and weak.

Watching you walk away
Referring to her past love interest, she can picture the person leaving her.

Almost turned around in Mississippi
She almost decided to turn around while driving through Mississippi.

Pulled over on the shoulder along the way
She stopped on the side of the road to deal with her emotions.

Thought by now, I'd be fine
She believed she would be okay by now and moving forward.

But all these tears are blurring every line
She's crying so much that her vision is affected.

And I think back to when you were mine
Reflecting on her past relationship, she reminisces about the time they were together.

Yeah, it's gonna take forever to get over you
She realizes that it will take a long time for her to move on from the person and the relationship.

Oh, and I don't think this pain's gonna go away
She's uncertain if she'll ever be able to heal from the heartbreak.

Oh, scars left when its said and done remain
Even after everything is over, the memories of the relationship and the hurt will remain as scars.
