Song for roday: Staind - 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.
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 a while
Since I could look at myself straight
and it's been a while
since I said I'm sorry.
It's been a while
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face.
It's been awhile
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.
