And it’s been a while

hold my head up high.
And it’s been a while

And it’s been a while
since I could stand on my own two feet a gain.
And it’s been a while
since I could call you.
to dis a pear when I’m with you.
And ev ’ry thing I can’t re mem ber,
as fucked up as it all may seem,
to be, I know it’s me.

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go a way.
Just one more peace ful day.
And it’s been a while

hold my head up high.
And it’s been a while
since I said I’m sor ry.
