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

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 you

But everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all 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
And 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 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

It's been a while
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 candle lights your face
And 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 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

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
