Why must I feel this way Just make this go away Just one more peaceful day

It's been a while Since I could... Look at myself straight It's been a while Since I said I'm sorry It's been a while Since I've seen the way candles light your face 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 me... I know this pain Can I blame this on my mother She did the best she could for me

It's been a while Since I could...
