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
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've strech myself beyond my means
And it's been a while since I could say
That I wasn't addicted
And it's been a while since I could 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't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I'm gonna fuck things up again
Why must I feel this way
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day
And it's been a while 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 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 a while since I said I'm sorry...
