Buzz Ballads - Its Been A While By Staind 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 2 feet again
And it's been a while
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As f*cked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been a while
Since I could say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been a while
Since I could say I loved myself as well
And it's been a while
Since I've gone and f*cked 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't remember
As f*cked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone & f*cked thing up again, 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't remember
As f*cked up as it all may seem, to be
I know its 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
