I need to feel the sun on my face,
Talk things through with myself
and maybe get things straight for once.
For all I know right now is
I can't breathe
and I'm waiting for this all to end.

I wish I was as cold as stone,
at least then I wouldn't feel a thing.
I wish I didn't have this heart,
at least then I wouldn't hurt like this;
standing in the rain burning my skin.
I would be strong enough to watch you hurt me in the end.

I feel so all alone
Now there is nothing more to give,
nothing left to take.
I thought by now that I'd be fine,
but these tears keep blurring my eyes as I reach out to you,
as you start to turn away from me just like they did.

I wish I was as cold as stone,
at least then I wouldn't be afraid,
of all this pain and sadness happening again.
I wish I didn't have this heart,
at least then I wouldn't hurt like this,
I would be strong enough to watch you hurt me in the end.

I wish I was cold as stone,
at least then I wouldn't be hurt again,
because I can feel it coming
from a thousand miles away.
I wish I was cold as stone,
at least then I could turn away before this all gets too much.

I'm just waiting for the day that this ends,
because I've never been very good at getting people to stay.
I just wish I was as cold as stone.
