It's Been Awhile Lyrics - Staind

And it's been awhile 

Since I could hold my head up high 

And it's been awhile 

Since I first saw you 

And it's been awhile 

Since I could stand on my own two feet again 

And it's been awhile 

Since I could call you 

And 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 

And it's been awhile 

Since I can say that I wasn't addicted 

And it's been awhile 

Since I can say I love myself as well 

And it's been awhile 

Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do 

And it's been awhile 

But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you 

And 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 

Why must I feel this way? 

Just make this go away 

Just one more peaceful day! 

And it's been awhile 

Since I could look at myself straight 

And it's been awhile 

Since I said I'm sorry 

And it's been awhile 

Since I've seen the way the candles light your face 

And it's been awhile 

But I can still remember just the way you taste 

And 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 

And it's been awhile 

Since I could hold my head up high 

And it's been awhile 

Since I said I'm sorry
