Staind is a four-piece alternative band from Springfield, Massachusetts. Staind self-released their debut album, Tormented, in November 1996. Their second album, Dysfunction (produced by Fred Durst and released on Elektra Records), was their breakthrough record, and has sold more than two million albums in the United States. However, it was the release of the single "Outside" off of The Family Values Tour '99 compilation that sent Staind into superstar status. With heartbreaking lyrics and great acoustic guitar, the single garnered massive radio airplay and was a major force behind sending Staind's next album, Break the Cycle, into multiplatinum status.

It’s Been Awhile Lyrics
Staind
Its been a while
Since I could...
Hold my head up high
Its been a while
Since I first saw you
Its been a while
Since I could stand
On my own two feet again
And its been a while
Since I could call you
And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
Consequences that Ive rendered
Have stretched myself beyond my means
Its been a while
Since I could say
That I wasnt addicted
Its been a while
Since I could say
I loved myself as well and...
Its been a while
Since Ive gone and fucked things up
Just like I always do
Its been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when Im with you
And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
Consequences that Ive rendered
Gone and fucked things up again... again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day
But then I go an fuck things up again
Its been a while
Since I could...
Look at myself straight
Its been a while
Since I said Im sorry
Its been a while
Since Ive seen the way
The candles light your face
Its been a while
But I can still
Remember just the way you taste
Everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
To me... I know this pain
Can I blame this on my father?
He did the best he could for me
Its been a while
Since I could...
Hold my head up high
Its been a while
Since I said Im sorry
