It's Been A While

[josephjoeyjoe]

Never EVER thought I would appreciate a song by Staind, but here it is:

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 could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been a while
Since i could call you
But everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been a while
Since I could say that I wasn't addicted and
It's been a while
Since I could 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
It's been a while
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
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
It's been a while
But I can still remember just the way you taste
But everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it may seem
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
And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry
