IT'S BEEN A YEAR

IT'S BEEN A YEAR
SINCE I TRIED TO TELL THAT LIE
I'LL EAT AGAIN, GOD
IF YOU DON'T LET HER DIE
IT'S BEEN A YEAR
SINCE HE REJECTED MY PLEA
AND SINCE I DECIDED
HER DEATH WAS CAUSED BY ME
IT'S BEEN A YEAR
SINCE THE TWENTY SECOND DAY
TWENTY TWO DAYS
OF FADING AWAY
IT'S BEEN A YEAR
SINCE I CRIED THOSE BITTER TEARS
FOR A PRECIOUS LOVED ONE LOST
THE TORMENT OF MY FEARS
IT'S BEEN A YEAR 
SINCE I FELT ANGRY TOWARDS GOD
AND HATED MYSELF
FOR CARRYING ON
IT'S BEEN A YEAR
SINCE I SAT IN THAT ROOM,
SAW THE HURT IN THIER EYES,
KNEW IT COULD BE ME SOON
IT'S BEEN A YEAR
SINCE I SAW THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG
SINCE I KNEW I NEEDED HELP
OR I WOULDN'T LAST LONG
IT'S BEEN A YEAR
SINCE MY MIND BEGAN THAT CLIMB
UP THE MOUNTAIN TO RECOVERY
AND BEGAN THE QUEST TO MAKE PEACE MINE
IT'S BEEN A YEAR.
