It's Been Awhile
by Staind
And it's been awhile
Since I could
hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand
on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
And everything I can't remember
As messed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means
And it's been awhile
Since I can say
that I wasn't addicted and
it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well and
it's been awhile
Since I've gone and messed things up
just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember
As messed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and messed things up again, yeah
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!
And it's been awhile
Since I could
look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way
the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't remember
As messed up as it all may seem
to be, I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
And it's been awhile
Since I could
hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
