And it’s been a while
since I could say
hold my head up high.
And it’s been a while
since I first saw you.
love my self as well.
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.
the con se quenc es that I’ve ren dered,
I stretched my self be yond my means.

And it’s been a while

And it’s been a while
but all that shit seems re mem ber just the way you taste.
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.
I can not blame this on my fa ther,
I’ve gone and fucked things up a gain.
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.
