It´s been a while 

(Staind) 

 

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 fucked 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 couldn’t say that I wasn’t addicted 

and it’s been a while 

since I couldn’t 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 

 

and everything I can remember 

as fucked up as it all may seem 

the consequences that I’ve rendered 

have gone and fucked things up again 

 

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 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 

 

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
