it's been a while

it's been a while

since i could hold my head up high

and it's been a while

since i first saw you

it's been a while

since i can stand on my own two feet again

and it's been a while

since i could call you

and everything i can't remember

as fucked as it all may seem

the consequences that i've rendered

i've stretched myself beyond my means

and it's been a while

since i could say that i wasn't addicted

and it's been a while

since i can say i love myself as well

and it's been a while

since i've gone and fucked things up just like i always do

and it's been a while

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

it's been a while

since i could look at myself straight

and it's been a while

since i said i'm sorry

it's been awhile

since i've seen the way the candles light your face

and it's been a while

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 me

i know it's 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
