The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's been awhile
Since I could
Hold my head up high
It's been awhile
Since I first saw you
It's been awhile
Since I could stand
On my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
But everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that are rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means
It's been awhile
Since I could say
That I wasn't addicted
It's been awhile
Since I could say
I loved myself as well and
It's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up
Just like I always do
It's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
Consequences that I've rendered
Gone and fucked things up again... Again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day
It's been awhile
Since I could
Look at myself straight
It's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
It's been awhile
Since I've seen the way
The candles light your face
It's been awhile
But I can still remember
Just the way you taste
Everything I can 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
It's been awhile
Since I could
Hold my head up high
It's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
