Lyrics

Verse1

It’s been a wile
Since I could… hold my head up high
And It’s been a wile
Since I first saw you
And it’s been a wile
Since I could stand, on my own two feet again
And it’s been I wile
Since I could call you

Chorus

And everything I can remember
Is from the past it always seem
The consequences that a rendered
I stretch my self beyond my pain

Verse 2

And it’s been a wile
Since I could say, that I wasn’t addicted and
It’s been a wile
Since I could say I love my self as well and
It’s been a wile
Since I’ve gone and f*k thinks up just like I always do
And it’s been a while
When all that s*t seem to disappear when I’m with you

Chorus

And everything I can remember
Is from the past it always seem
The consequences that a rendered
I’m goanna f*k things up again
Bridge
Why must I feel this pain?
Just make this go a way
Just one more piece again

Verse3

And it’s been a while
Since I could, look on my self-straight
And it’s been a while
Since I said I’m sorry
And it’s been a wile
Since I’ve seen the way, the candles light your face
And it’s been a while
But I can still remember just the way you taste

Chorus

And everything I can remember
Is from the past it always seem, to be I know it’s real
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

It’s been a wile
Since I could… hold my head up high
And it’s been a while
Since I said I’m sorry
