Staind - It's Been A While lyrics

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 fucked 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 fucked 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 fucked up as it all may seem

The consequences that I`ve rendered

I`ve gone and fucked things up again

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 candle lights your face

And it`s been awhile

But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can`t remember

As fucked 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
