Staind - It's Been Awhile (Acoustic) lyrics

[Verse 1] It's been awhile, since I could, hold my head 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 [Chorus] But everything I can't remember As f**ed up as it all may seem The consequences that I've rendered I've stretched myself beyond my means [Verse 2] It's been awhile, since I could say, that I wasn't addicted And it's been awhile, since I could say I love myself as well And it's been awhile, since I've gone and f**ed things up, just like I always do And it's been awhile, but all that sh** seems to disappear when I'm with you [Chorus] And everything I can't remember As f**ed up as it all may seem The consequences that I've rendered I've gone and f**ed things up again [Bridge] Why must I feel this way? Just make this go away Just one more peaceful day [Verse 3] 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 candles light your face And it's been awhile, but I can still remember just the way you taste [Chorus] But everything I can't remember As f**ed up as it all may seem to be... and I know it's me I cannot blame this on my father He did the best he could for me [Outro] And it's been awhile, since I could, hold my head up high And it's been awhile, since I said I'm sorry
