It's Been Awhile Lyrics – Staind

It's Been Awhile Text

---

It's been a while
Since I could
Hold my head up high
And It's been a while
Since I First saw you
And 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

And everything I can remember
As f**ked up as it all may seem
The consequences that i've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means

And It's been a while
Since I can 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 f**ked things up
Just like I always do
and it's been a while
But all that sh*t seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can remember
As f**ked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I'm gone and f**ked things up 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 a while
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been a while
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 remember
as f**ked 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 a while
Since I could
Hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
