Song lyrics

Send "It's Been A While" ringtones to your cell

It's been a while
Since I could
Hold my head up high
And It's been a while
Since I First saw you
And It's been a while
Since I could stand
on my own two feet again
And it's been a while
Since I could call you

And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that i've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means

And It's been a while
Since I can say
That I wasn't addicted and
It's been a while
Since I can say
I love myself as well and
It's been a while
Since I've gone and fucked things up
Just like I always do
and it's been a while
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
The consequences that I've rendered
I'm gone and fucked things up again

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 a while
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been a while
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

And 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

And it's been a while
Since I could
Hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I agree with what lexusNYC said. I would have said the same thing. People can relate to this song and it has the bonus of having good Melody, Rhythm and vocals.

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Most of you are pretty ignorant. If any of you had any clue as to what these songs were about, you wouldn't be writing what you are. And as far as the person who's b/f sang her this song, he's obvioulsly a knob who knows nothing about what women appreciate.
