dear isabelle

i found this faded picture of you and me on lake michigan

you were smiling

the wind was blowing in your hair

i think it's been around 5 years

and everything and nothing's changed

god

i wish that you were here

i know i should have called

i know i should have stayed

i should have said a lot of things

i hope it's not too late

dear isabelle

been thinkin' about you

dear isabelle

so lonely without you

i pretended i was doing well

but without you

it's been hell

dear isabelle

sometimes i'm not good with words

but you knew that so i wrote this verse

in hopes that it would someday reach your ears

and i still wonder where you are

but it doesn't matter cause it's still too far

the lake has never looked so clear

i know i should have called

i know i should have stayed

i should have said a lot of things

i hope it's not too late

dear isabelle

been thinkin' about you

dear isabelle

so lonely without you

i pretended i was doing well

but without you

it's been hell

dear isabelle

it's hard for me to write this

is it hard for you to know that i still care?

would it kill you to forgive me?

come on

isabelle

i know that you're out there

i know i should have called

i know i should have stayed

i should have said a lot of things

i hope it's not too late

dear isabelle

been thinkin' about you

dear isabelle

so lonely without you

i pretended i was doing well

but without you

it's been hell

dear isabelle
