"It's Been Awhile (Acoustic)" lyrics - STAIND

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 fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

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 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
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 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 fucked 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
