Lyrics:
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means
And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've 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 awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't 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 awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
Once a wise man said, "when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics"
Who’s still rocking this in 2024?
Lost my father in 2018. Lost myself to substance abuse after that. Rehab and this song brought me back to life. Two years sober in August.
Still a masterpiece in 2024
I was living on the streets of KC when this came out. Always brings back an emotional connection to that time. Homeless, divorced, alcoholic, high-school dropout. Forward 20 years I'm a nurse who just celebrated my 14th wedding anniversary with a kid in college going for her PhD in biology. 15 years clean.... "it's been a while"
My husband loved this song.... he passed away today. I love you, John, I always will. You were my world... God... if I could just sing this song with you ONE MORE TIME.... hear your voice crack at the same damn place in the song.... I miss you so much, baby!! RIP my love. 😭💔
This WILL remain a MASTERPIECE no MATTER what YEAR
I've been clean from fentanyl for 22 days. Im over here listening to this music 🎵🎶
I'm telling you when you get older these songs aren't just "fun" to listen to anymore. They will creep up and hit right in the heart.
Active duty military here. Joined the Navy at a younger age. My brother died May 5, 2010. Had his funeral on May 10, 2010. Left for bootcamp May 19, 2010… He used to live with me at my apartment. I got laid off from a few jobs. We were homeless for a while. Then not too long after he was shot and killed. Went into the military with feelings of brokenness and hopelessness. Went to Captain’s Mast three times. Just couldn’t get it together. Contemplated suicide, but decided to live. Lost some good family and friends, relationships. Lost my grandmother on November 9, 2019. Lost one of my good Sailor buddies on March 20, 2020 while we were forward deployed. I drank myself into a stupor for a year straight after that during COVID. Listened to this song during those times…Thankful for my Dad, my family, the Chiefs and others who were there back during those times and saw something more in me and gave me second and third chances. It’s been a while… I eventually got my shit together. I try to pay that kindness and mercy forward. Everyone doesn’t get it right the first time or even the second time. Glad that I can I look at myself in the mirror straight in the eye and also tell my story. Thankful to be alive.
when he said "its been a while" i felt that because its been a while
I am 35 years old and i am a 18years meth addict. I am 4years sober now with no relapse and happy to say that my body don't crave for it anymore.
My first born son died of heroin overdose after being clean for 18 months. This was one of his favorite songs during his sobriety. Thank you Aaron.
💜2024 And this gem continues to shine 💖💎🔥
If u are listening to this song in 2024 you are a amazing person :)
This song hits me every time. Brought up in a crazy dysfunctional house and heading for a life of nothing. Now all these years later, happily married, son at university and running my own business. I listen to this song every day of my life and think of what life once was to now. Hang in there folks.
Three years ago today I was sitting in a bus stop not knowing where I was going to sleep, or where my next meal was coming from. Fast forward to today. I just celebrated three years clean. Promotion at work. I'm living the dream. It's been a while
Classics never die. For all the men dealing with shit in 2024. Stay strong
As my father was an addict my whole life growing up. He’s been clean for 10 years now. This was my go to song as a teenager
Survived addiction and being sex trafficked and am happy to say I survived it all, and going to turn 68 in Feb with close to 30 yrs sobriety and living life the best I can, can really relate to this song thank you
