Staind
It's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
Since I first saw you
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
Since I could call you
But 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
It's been awhile
Since I could say that I wasn't addicted
Subce I could say I love myself as well
Since I've gone and fucked things
up just like I always do
But all that shit seems to
disappear when I'm with you
But everything I can't remember
as fucked up as it 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
It's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
Since I said I'm sorry
Since I've seen the way
the candle lights your face
But I can still remember
just the way you taste
But 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
It's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been awhile since I said
I'm sorry
How you bring me to my knees,
all this time,i compel you away,
all the times,that i felt insecure,
and i leave,my burdens out the door,
im on the outside,im looking in,
i can see through you,see your true colors,
cuz inside your ugly,ugly like me,
i can see through you,see you for real,
(well i see, this is the real mother fucking deal ya'll)
(im feelin those lighters)
all this time,that i've felt this won't end,
was for you,and i taste what i could never have,
it's from you,all those times,that i tried,
my intention,full of pride,
and i wished,to have time with anyone,
im on the outside,im looking in,
i can see through you,see your true colors,
cuz inside your ugly,ugly like me,
i can see through you,see you for real,
all the times,that i've cried,all this wasting,
is all inside,and i feel,all this pain,
stuffed it down,it's back again,
and i lie,here in bed,all alone,
i can't end,and i feel,tomorrow will be ok,
im on the outside,im looking in,
i can see through you,see your true colors,
cuz inside your ugly,ugly like me,
i can see through you,see you for real.
