    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

    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"

    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.

    I remember listening to this while going on long walks with my mother during the fall. We would walk around the park then she would have a cup of coffee and I would eat my favorite donut at our favorite coffee spot.
    We did that for so many years.
    My mother passed away last week, 2 months after I had my first son.
    I miss her so much, the pain and loneliness seems so deep and constant.
    I know one day when my son is older I’ll show him this song while we walk around the same park then eat at the donut shop. I’ll have my coffee while my son picks out his favorite donut. For some crazy reason I picture myself walking out of the coffee shop, turning around and seeing my mother sitting by our old spot by the window. Smiling at us. Rest in peace Ammi, we love and miss you ❤

    During my deployment my fiancee left me...it broke me for months. I would sit in my bunk looking at pictures, letters...I would play this song on repeat wringing my head and wondering whether or not each day that passed would be the day I ended everything. I had no family to support me, my friends were gone, and then she was gone and I was alone...I'd scream the last verse nearly every time it came. I remember later singing this song at karaoke after I got back and that last verse came back and I had a breakdown on stage crying my eyes out and feeling like I was being torn apart...Funny how years later now if this comes on I kind of just stop what I'm doing and have to sit down and listen. And think about her.

    I have been clean from heroin for a year, this song means a lot to me, anyone who is struggling with sobriety please know that there is hope.

      There is always hope.
      Digging my way out of a black hole of depression I knew there was a future for me.
      And there is one for you as well.

      I got clean from heroin for 8 years. My beautiful gran passed away with dementia 9 months ago. Seeing my mother grieving so badly for her mum and losing my gran was almost too much to take. I needed to feel numb. Just one bag won’t hurt, of course one bag turned into another, and now here I am 9 months later, sold all my possessions, sneaking, being shady, using three, four, five, six bags a day if I can find the cash. My life is a mess, I really can’t see a way out. I’m trapped again and I’m terrified of quitting I lock myself in the bathroom and use and then cry straight after and listen to tunes like these as I sit for a few minutes contemplating what the hell it is I’m doing to myself again and how I got here again after the first time. It almost gave my dad a heart attack years ago because of the turmoil it caused. There’s no way he can know I’m back in that place. I either need to get myself clean and quickly before I spend any more, I must have gone through £7000 in 9 months, or I just need to disappear. I’m at my wits end. I have no idea which way to turn. It’s gonna kill me one way or another.

      @@HansJanus I am so very sorry. I lost my 4 1/2 year old from Leighs Disease, it's a degenerative disease that slowly killed him back on March 27th 2002, he was my whole world. He had a G-tube surgically placed in his stomach to get nutrients plus he had a tracheotomy & was on a ventilator, after that my ex beat me up really bad so I left to go to a battered womens shelter , after 5 days my father in law got back from a cruise & came and got me out of the shelter to go back home and try to work it out (because he would usually beat me up at least once a week & was used to the situation). When we got to the house I found him dead with his face ate of by our 8 dogs (because he had locked them in our bedroom right after I left). He had died from a massive heart attack. The dogs just wanted to be let out to use the restroom and were starving to death & were only trying to wake him. I was using to numb my pain, I was and still am destroyed. It has been so hard lately because I suffer from a lot of medical conditions that cause me to have unbearable pain but I can't ever touch another opiate or I will be in the same situation. I have so much guilt and somedays are (especially lately) I just wish I could be numb even if for just an hour. I could go on with everything that's happened in my life nut I would be typing for at least a few hours. I know you don't know me but If you ever need someone to talk to please message me, I think we could help each other.
