Sometimes I Wish I Were Stone

Why haven’t I been able to cope? For some reason it seems like I’ve lost all hope Unleashed on me a hurting, so I feel like a dope, Sometimes I wish I were stone. This agony I feel just won’t go away Slowly I'm rotting alive day by day Like mud at the bottom of the river silently I lay Sometimes I wish I were stone. I want my skin to be tough like leather I want my heart hard, not smooth like a feather I want to be ready, come good or bad weather Sometimes I wish I were stone.
