been a while Lyrics

It's been a while, my friend

I went to see him and he was dead

Your braces in, the food is out

And you sound quiet when you shout

Do you get nauseous when I'm there?

It just seems like you never cared

It's been a long while, I forget what you said I'm empty and scared

It's been some time, did I mention I'm petrified?

That you'll go and you'll rob me blind

I spent some time running my head around everything you said

Like I think you expect too much

I know, I know your standards seem to stand as low

But I can never meet them

Although I try my hardest to please

Even my parents say I don't speak to them

And then you go and say the exact same thing

You say that I'm not capable of change But look how far

I've come, since life was so strange.

It's been a while, my ex I've moved on and deleted our texts

I feel anxious passing you in the halls. But your face no longer makes me fall

I'm sorry you saw me cry But I never lied

I never lied

I never lied
