It's Been a While

It's been a while
Since I couldn't
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 two feet again
And it's been a while
Since I could call you

And all the things I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that are rendered
I stretch myself beyond my means

And 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
And 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
The consequences that I've rendered
Have gone and fucked things up again

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

It's been a while
Since I couldn't
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 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

It's been a while
Since I couldn't
Hold my head up high
And it's been a while
Since I said, "I'm sorry"

Finally!

Finally chains came loose...
Now I have to move on...
And no matter the stones that my mind gets in my way...
I'm going to move on, with you or without you...

Life goes on, right?
