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
