Isabel, why don’t you laugh like you used to?
Is it heartless to say that we shouldn’t go on
Without the games and the cheer?
It’s hard to talk when you’re not even here
Oh Isabel, why can’t I laugh like I used to?
I’m sideways and bent like a man on the moon
Who’s forgotten his suit
You ask, exactly, “what’s overcome you?”
Oh Isabelle
Oh Isabelle
Isabel, why can’t we laugh like we used to?
I’d take all the temper tantrums in the car
Before we’d kiss on the beach
I’ve come to realize that you’re now
Out of reach
Isabel, well you can’t seem to drink your own poison
What happened to reciprocation in the end?
Wear your heart like a badge
No conversations pitiful or crass
Oh Isabel
