Lyrics It's Been Awhile - Live at Hiro Ballroom Explicit - Staind

It's been awhile
Since I could
Hold my head up high

And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you

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 remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
And consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been awhile
Since I could say
That I wasn't addicted and
It's been awhile
Since I could say I loved myself as well and
It's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up
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 remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
And consequences that I've rendered
I'm gonna fuck things up again

Why must I feel this way

Just make this go away

Just one more peaceful day

It's been awhile since I could
Look at myself straight
And it's been a while
Since I've said I'm sorry

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 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

It's been awhile since I could
Hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
