Lyrics of It's been a while

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 remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that i've rendered
I 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 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
The candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But i can still remember
Just the way you taste

And everything i can 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
