Dear Isabelle

Lee Dewyze · Live It Up [2010]

I found this faded picture of you and me on Lake Michigan

You were smiling, the wind was blowin' in your hair

I think it's been around five years

And everything and nothin's changed

Got a wish that you were here



I know I should've called

I know I should've stayed

I should've 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 pretend that 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

And hope 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've called

I know I should've stayed

I should've 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 pretend that 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 if you forgive me

Come on Isabelle, I know that you're out there



I know I should've called

I know I should've stayed

I should've 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 pretend that I was doing well

But without you, it's been hell, dear Isabelle
