Its been awhile since I could - hold my head up high
Its been awhile since I first saw you
Its been awhile since I could stand on my own two feet again
Its been awhile since I could call you
And every thing I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means
Its been awhile since I couldn't say that I wasn't addicted
Its been awhile since I couldn't say I love myself as well as
Its been awhile since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
Its been awhile but all that shit seems to disappear when Im with you
And every thing I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
Ive gone and fucked things up again yea
Why must I feel this way
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day
Its been awhile since I could look at myself straight
Its been awhile since I said im sorry
Its been awhile since ive seen the way candles light your face
Its been awhile but I can still remember just the way you taste
And every thing I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know its me
I can not blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
Its been awhile since I could hold my head up high
Its been awhile since I said im sorry
