Isabella, Isabella, I heard you crying through the walls
What's the matter? What's the matter? All the neighbors hear it down the hall

and I didn't want to be the first to say
everyone around here thinks you're crazy
and I didn't want to be the first to say you shouldn't stay, [bad word] away

All your hero's are your records, you play 'em loud but I don't mind the noise.
Why ya hiding?  Why you staying?  Maybe you don't think you have a choice.

and I didn't want to tell you face to face
that your mom and dad are straight up crazy
It's really hard for me to say that you shouldn't stay, [bad word] away

Don't you be afraid
It's never too late
You're a sleeping [bad word] awake

Out the window of your bedroom, climb on down the fire escape.
I left some money and a ticket. For the first time in your life don't be afraid

and baby I will be the first to say
You are stronger than you know, you'll find your way. [bad word] away.
