It's Been a While Lyrics

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw youAnd it's been awhile
Since I could stand
On my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call youAnd everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my meansAnd 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 wellAnd 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 youAnd 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, againWhy must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful dayAnd it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorryAnd 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 tasteAnd 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 meAnd it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
