It's Been Awhile Lyrics

[00:18.17] And it's been a while
[00:19.92] Since I could hold my head up high
[00:26.46] And it's been a while
[00:28.28] Since I first saw you
[00:32.32]
[00:34.59] And it's been a while
[00:36.48] Since I could stand on my own two feet again
[00:42.80] And it's been a while
[00:44.53] Since I could call you
[00:48.93]
[00:51.11] And everything I can't remember
[00:59.01] As fucked up as it all may seem
[01:04.78]
[01:07.38] The consequences that are rendered
[01:13.59]
[01:15.60] I've stretched myself beyond my means
[01:21.40]
[01:23.65] And it's been a while
[01:25.65] Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
[01:32.15] And it's been a while
[01:33.95] Since I can say I love myself as well, and
[01:40.18] And it's been a while
[01:42.12] Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
[01:48.72] And it's been a while
[01:50.33] But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
[01:56.88] And everything I can't remember
[02:04.73] As fucked up as it all may seem
[02:10.40]
[02:12.80] The consequences that I've rendered
[02:19.09]
[02:21.32] I've gone and fucked things up again, again
[02:28.71]
[02:34.13] Why must I feel this way?
[02:39.54]
[02:42.49] Just make this go away
[02:47.50]
[02:50.37] Just one more peaceful day
[02:55.64]
[03:02.05] And it's been a while
[03:03.89] Since I could look at myself straight
[03:10.43] And it's been a while
[03:12.17] Since I said I'm sorry
[03:16.31]
[03:18.56] And it's been a while
[03:20.65] Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
[03:26.93] And it's been a while
[03:28.85] But I can still remember just the way you taste
[03:35.24] And everything I can't remember
[03:43.10] As fucked up as it all may seem to be, I know it's me
[03:51.46] I cannot blame this on my father
[03:59.37] He did the best he could for me
[04:04.96]
[04:07.41] And it's been a while
[04:09.38] Since I could hold my head up high
[04:15.75] And it's been a while
[04:17.71] Since I said I'm sorry
[04:19.97]
