It's Been a While

It's been a while
Since I've seen your face

It took a while to realize
When the truth hits hard
Pain will be the prize
I always knew about that part

And now I know what I don't want to know
I know that now the time has come to go
And leave it all
Leave it all behind

Surrounded by white lies and beer
I'm caught in the web that I built for you my dear
Could you be so kind
Let me unwind

All fingers burned but like a moth to the flame
Oh I tried to give it up but the fire can't be tamed
I need love
Oh no I'm in love

It's been a while since I've seen your face
All so familiar just a different place
It's been a while since I felt you near
And now I am surprised that you are here
And it all comes back again
And it all comes back up again

No admonition, no false regret
I knew right from the start what I would get
No one to blame
It's all part of the game

Deny the obvious cause hope dies last
I saw it wither oh so fast
Still had a ball
To dream it all

It's been a while since I've seen your face
All so familiar just a different place
It's been a while since I felt you near
And now I am surprised that you are here
And it all comes back again
And it all comes back up again
Again

They say time is the healer
They say nothing's going to last
I say I've heard it all before
I pray the future becomes past

It's been a while since I've seen your face
All so familiar just a different place
It's been a while
Since I felt you near
And now I am surprised that you are here
And it all comes back to shed a tear
And it tears
It tears a hole
I'm crawling on all fours
