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 candle lights 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
