It's Been a While Songtext
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 are 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, 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 them 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 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
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 are 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, 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 them 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 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
