Its been a while
Since I could...
Hold my head up high
Its been a while
Since I first saw you
Its been a while
Since I could stand
On my own two feet again
And its been a while
Since I could call you

And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
Consequences that Ive rendered
Have stretched myself beyond my means

Its been a while
Since I could say
That I wasnt addicted
Its been a while
Since I could say
I loved myself as well and...
Its been a while
Since Ive gone and fucked things up
Just like I always do
Its been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when Im with you

And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
Consequences that Ive rendered
Gone and fucked things up again... again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day
But then I go an fuck things up again

Its been a while
Since I could...
Look at myself straight
Its been a while
Since I said Im sorry
Its been a while
Since Ive seen the way
The candles light your face
Its been a while
But I can still
Remember just the way you taste

Everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
To me... I know this pain
Can I blame this on my father?
He did the best he could for me

Its been a while
Since I could...
Hold my head up high
Its been a while
Since I said Im sorry
