It`s Been A While — текст песни (Staind)

It`s been a while
Since I could...
Hold my head up high
It`s been a while
Since I first saw you

It`s been a while
Since I could stand on my own two feet again

And it`s been a while
Since I could call you

And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
Consequences that I`ve rendered
Have stretched myself beyond my means

It`s been a while
Since I could say that I wasn`t addicted

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 fucked things up
Just like I always do

It`s been a while
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
Consequences that I`ve rendered
Gone and fucked things up again... again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

It`s been a while
Since I could...
Look at myself straight

It`s been a while
Since I said I`m sorry

It`s been a while
Since I`ve seen the way candles light your face

It`s been a while
But I can still remember just the way you taste

Everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
To me... I know this pain
Can I blame this on my father?
He did the best he could for me

It`s been a while
Since I could...
Hold my head up high

It`s been a while
Since I said I`m sorry
