Its Been a While Lyrics

And 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***** up as it all may seem
the consequences that are rendered
I stretch myself beyond my means

and it's been a while
since i could'nt say that i wasnt addicted
and it's been a while
since i could'nt say i love myself as well
and it's been a while
since i've gone and f***** things up
just like i always do
and it's been a while
but all that s*** seems to disappear
when i'm with you
and everything i can remember
as f***** up as it all may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
have gone and f***** things up again yeah

why must i feel this way
just make this go away
just one more peaceful day

and 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 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***** 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 a while since i said i'm sorry
