It's been a while - Staind

It's been a while, since I could hold my head up high
It's been a while, since I first saw you
It's been a while, since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been a while, since I could call you

And everything I can remember, as fucked up as it all may seem
Consequences that I've rendered have stretched myself beyond my means

It's been a while, since I could say that I wasn't addicted
It's been a while, since I could say I loved myself as well and
It's been a while, since I've gone and fucked things up
Just like I always do, it's been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can remember, as fucked up as it all may seem
Consequences that I've rendered
Gone and fucked things up again... again

Why must I feel this way? Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

It's been a while, since I could look at myself straight
It's been a while, since I said I'm sorry
It's been a while, since I've seen the way the candles light your face
It's been a while, but I can still remember just the way you taste

Everything I can remember, as fucked up as it all may seem to be
I know its me, I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

It's been a while, since I could hold my head up high
It's been a while, since I said I'm sorry
