Staind-It's been a while lyrics

[David2337]

Honestly who could give this song a thumbs down?

[55lockhart]

21 people is gonna die in the next 24 hours :)

[tokyostar03]

[nick13999455]

i hate hip hop most of it its annoying and they say the n word way to much

[GeneralHumanGenocide]

@nick13999455 So don't listen to mainstream hip-hop, dig past the radio into the stuff just beneath the surface, try root's "here i come"(you may recognize it from superbad), try the "Deltron 3030" album for sure awesome stuff, The Gorillaz, try Binary Star's "I know why the caged bird sings" as well. There are plenty of mainstream rappers that make the genre look bad, but there are also plenty of 'em keeping it alive. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien"s "mistadobalina" too!

[johnsmithyop]

Great song.

[roadtorupert]

its been a while since i said you fucking titty cock sucker

[vazsagho]

all that dissapear when im with you..

[ExplosiveBuffalo]

This is great and so is the new self-titled album!

[mylifeISmusic2020]

I love some rap, pop, techno, hip hop, doo wop, I love those surfer songs from the 50s and 60s, I love classical, I love music in general. I love staind, and metal, and rock. You gonna call me a faggot? or a pansy? I love MUSIC. Deal with it. Music speaks to me differently, I love rap for the beat, and the speed of the lyrics, I love country cause I live in the farm nation of the US, I love rock and metal cause I can relate. Now back off and think next time.

[voteformeforpres]

This song gets me crying. I feel very related.....

[geddyleeification]

[JaMarco25]

Great song

[MarcusMatamua]

Such a good song. so much meaning.

[chuckmekere]

megagonet is a fuckin faggot that listens to pussy assed pop and rap

This song is awesome

[jayhan94]

its been a while....since i could hear this kind of music

[megagonet]

This song is cheap and gay

[Mrkaaaaaaaarl]

@megagonet You are a heartless, retarded prick. Your obviously totally oblivious to the true meaning of the song, because your so busy thinking of shit to write about a great artist, think before you write, tit.

[megagonet]

@Mrkaaaaaaaarl this song is cheap and gay and i dont care

[ToonWatcher3000]

@megagonet It's your opinion dude. If you don't like it don't comment. There are people that actually LIKE this "cheap and gay" song. Show some consideration, you prick.

[butterfly2004666]

:( what the hell happened to good music like this.....i really need to know...:(

[MrBRENNON2132]

@butterfly2004666 hip hop happened.... its depressing really, this music is better than some idiot talking fast...

[Meepooful]

Everybody should be able to show their feelings, nobody should be ashamed of showing them. Feelings are what defines us as human beings, without em you are just a blank shell.... But anyhow, many (including myself) have alot of problems and different issues of showing the real feelings inside of you.

I love sinking into Staind...

[joeyelmer]

at last the song as written without the CENSORING!!!

[cbruzinski]

hey we all cry its human nature. now lets put aside our differences and just relax and listen to some amazing music,

[alienfromhell]

No other artist can give me the chills through their music quite like Staind.

[frosty2199]

Man a man can cry if hes crying he best be havin some serious emotional pain like loss of a loved one. what im saying is a dude can cry he just cant be a bitch

[JoanneFromNYC]

Love this song!

[newbyjonathan]

fuck you if you hate this song

[420JohnnieBoi]

@newbyjonathan lmao hell yea

[jeniowa]

@newbyjonathan Dick. Immature dick.

[omglmao12345]

If there was a theme song to my life..... this would be it.

[TheKenzNetwork]

Love this song.

[finalflameKorisky]

...it's been awhile....since i heard this song xD zing.

[MickiWatchesVideos]

Man, where has all the music like this gone?

*sigh*

[MultiNecromonger]

Everyone is different life is hard my heart has been torn out stepped on ive cried and fought for the ones i love the only pussies r the dick heads that dont under stand how women feel when u do certain things to them. ive met someone that i love more than anything and people have tried to keep my head up and now for once in this fucked up world we call life i can.

[CrazygurlNajah]

I listen to this song every time I feel like shit. Just speaks to me!

[AyseyHD]

One guy here in Sweden, was 19 years old and drowned 10 min after he listened to this Song. Why? He was so young! Life is not fair! Like this comment if you have knowed someone who was young and died... If not, then your just a fucking idiot and I hope you'll die young!!

[XLoganXIV]

@AyseyHD I can't believe that you'd say something like that. You are an idiot. I started losing people who were young when I was six. Ive lost seven young friends and family members since then. I would hope and pray that people would NOT have to go through something like that myself. Why would you wish that if someone hadn't lost someone close to them - someone young - that THEY would die? What kind of a cold-hearted bastard are you? And why would you wish that on their friends and family?

[AyseyHD]

@XLoganXIV If they don't care then they don't even desirve to live! I'm no cold-hearted bastar, I didn't knew this guy but I cried in hours! Read again what I commented before and think this time, because I didn't mean like that. I wouldn't want anyone to go trough something like that!

[tursiopsgp]

I agree just hard this life is depression, bullying, abuse I've seen it.. but I DO blame it on my mother AND father lol.. good song though..the past is hard to get through abuse is ..

this is a song of my life lol

[tursiopsgp]

I agree just hard this life is depression, bullying, abuse I've seen it.. but I DO blame it on my mother AND father lol.. good song though..the past is hard to get through abuse is ..

[TheRiderOfSteel]

Beautiful song, it's one of my favorites ontop of the fact that it's saved me from commiting suicide for the mistakes I've made in the past, I'd put a gun to my head and was just reflecting on my life before I ended it, when out of nowhere this song started playing on the radio, needless to say I broke down crying, tossed away the gun and reminded myself of the message it clearly states...No matter what's happened in the past, it's the past and you should never dwell on it, (Need to extend post)

[TheRiderOfSteel]

@TheRiderOfSteel -it's the past and you should never dwell on it, because tomorrow is a new day and you can never do anything horrible enough that you don't deserve a second chance.

[brierk1]

I never want to feel like this again... but if I forget then I'll slip back under. This song makes me remember, saving me from repeating my past.

[SayNeverSayNever180]

18 people have gone and f*cked things up like they always do...

[juicypeach2286]

This was once the story of my life. Still love the song and have become a friend of Bill W.

[31Roadsterford]

This kinda reminds me of Nickelback :D

[cobrixo]

Ya se las consecuencias que tengo he tenido que afrontar, las acepto todas por el hecho de que un dia estemos juntos al fin. SD, tu y yo nos pertenecemos a pesar de la geografia esa es ... solo geografia. Te amo.

[geniemist]

the consequences that I've rendered...not (that are rendered)

[Rasta19856]

fucking great what the hell happened to good music today i sawer if another person becomes famous for some bullshit songs on kid TV shows im gonna kill someone

[fuzzy2u2]

@Rasta19856 AHH, GO OUT AN KILL YERSELF. DO THE WORLD A FAVOR, HELL DO YOURSELF THE FAVOR !

[sk8mxfl]

unfortunately this song is a mirror of my life haha



[joinbuddy22]

wada masterpiece song is dat.. simply adorable not enuf word to praise. n_n

[ncdblues]

I can't blame this on my father...he did the best he could for me! AWSOME!

[fromNick2Rapidz]

Man this song makes me relax and remind me of all bad things in the world.

It makes me feel sad but yet good too. It helps me get over old problems. :D

Thumbs up if you feel the same.

[metalguitarist43]

Story of my life

[MMluvz]

@metalguitarist43 same here

[MsLazlok]

love it! fuckin amazing

hit " The Lost Rockers" on youtube and check the 1st video (cartoon called Afterlife)

Peace & Rock

[Korena101]

"I know its me I cannot blame this on my father. He did the best he could for me."

I have never heard a man say that

[ExtremeRulez13]

One of my favorite songs by one of the best bands ever

[TheMorbidmirage]

It's been a while!!!

[SgtSprinkles165]

I dont know

If a man cries, why ridicule further?

Is he a pussy? Does he deserve torment for his feelings?

No, if anything he's brave

He cries to show his pain, to let everyone know he's hurt

The type of person u r is shown when u either ridicule the man

or try to help him

[chickofaccemptance]

@SgtSprinkles165 Wow dude, those are amaizing words of truth. Amaizing.

[CallOfDutys97]

@SgtSprinkles165 When you cry for no reason whatsoever like the emos life hurts wha wha I see a reason to think that they are pussys.

[SgtSprinkles165]

@CallOfDutys97 well there must be a reason

say you had a girlfriend/boyfriend, whateve your sexuality may be

and she leaves you, and you thought she was the one

a month later you cry because you hear this song and it was yours and hers song

no matter how much of a man you think you are, you will sooner or later break

[CallOfDutys97]

@SgtSprinkles165 Yea no I feel no reason to cry when I hear a song that meakes me remember somebody in the past

[BandxOfxBrothers]

@SgtSprinkles165

not true. 

[amlegend786]

@SgtSprinkles165

true man :-)

[MadeInGermany94]

@SgtSprinkles165 only REAL man arent afraid of showin some feelings

[drinkyourtea]

@SgtSprinkles165 well I've had people treat me like shit what kind of "civilised" race treats it's own like they are pretty much lower than dirt from birth

[0Tyson0]

@SgtSprinkles165

Sgt pussy is more like it!

[pupus4]

@SgtSprinkles165 Yes he does because men are not supposed to cry. We are strong NO MATTER what.

There's no if's or but's

[SgtSprinkles165]

@pupus4 Oh yah? What about our troops oversea's?

Middle of combat, your looking at your best friend. Boom, he's gone

Are you going to tough that one out? You think your strong enough to lose something you held close to you?

Lets see you lose a best friend, or come home one day to find your child was struck by a vehicle, or see the woman you loved with another man

You will never know true pain

[pupus4]

@SgtSprinkles165 Yea nigga i'm strong enough to handle that.

I've seen the woman i love with another man, and both of my parents are dead..

they died when i was 6... -.- stupid fuck.

Don't speak until you know.

[Dishdog2]

@pupus4 Quit drinking the hatorade

[pupus4]

@Dishdog2 Was this supposed to be funny n "original" to get u thumbs up? ...

[Dishdog2]

@pupus4 none of the above, just saying quit hating

[pupus4]

@Dishdog2 sounds to me like it was, here's the link of a video i think you should watch.

/watch?v=9BOG4p1-H2Q

[immortalwombat10]

@pupus4

You are not a man then, you are a child. A man has enough control to be honest despite how it may make him seem to others.

[pupus4]

@immortalwombat10 I'm a child because i can control my emotions and you can't?

[immortalwombat10]

@pupus4 controlling ones emotions is not ignorance of ones emotions, or denial of them grow up.

[pupus4]

@immortalwombat10 You're stupid -.- my sentence was referring to me being the one able to control my emotions, not you -.-

Go get another tip from a fortune cookie. Stupid teenager.\

[immortalwombat10]

@pupus4

yeah and if you claim that control is ignorance then you are ignorant of what control is.

[pupus4]

@immortalwombat10 I didn't say control is ignorance... wow you lost track of what my argument was didn't you?

I was the one saying having control of your emotions and not crying is being a man.

[immortalwombat10]

@pupus4

that sir, is ignorance.

[pupus4]

@immortalwombat10 so being able to control how you feel is ignorance? cause if so, then i rather be ignorant.

[pineapplebaron]

@pupus4 Controlling your emotions and witholding them are different things. You're actually talking about witholding them, which is not a good idea. It's virtually impossible to control them. If you control them, you are more or less inhuman; emotions are organic reactions to external conditions. Therefore, by controlling your emotions, you are able to completely control your environment. Not really possible.

[pupus4]

@pineapplebaron Actually when you control your emotions, you are able to control your environment, because you can decide what things can and can't affect you.

[pineapplebaron]

@pupus4 That's not controlling your environment, buddy. Deciding whether or not something affects you does not determine whether or not it happens. It could still happen, yet you refuse to react, therefore witholding your emotions.

By the way, has anyone ever told you you're not good at trolling? We all know what you're doing. By the way, only idiots troll youtube.

[pupus4]

@pineapplebaron Mentally it is, are u dumb? if u decide for something not to affect you, its not going to affect your mood, cause u can still chose to be happy and enjoy your life without letting something bug you

Its like saying "Fuck it" and letting it go.

whats "Trolling?" wth? lol teenagers now a days

[pineapplebaron]

@pupus4 Perhaps you should just let this argument go. You have the macho-societal definition of a "man" that no one else here has, and no one is really interested in what you have to say anymore. Your trolling episode is over. Goodbye.

[pupus4]

@pineapplebaron Yea sorry i'm a real man and you're not, the man in the 40s would have laughed at your shit. Back then real men didn't cry over "spilled milk".

I don't care if anyone is interested or not actually, i speak my mind.

There you go again with that word "trolling", what does that even mean?

[pineapplebaron]

@pupus4 Perhaps I didn't make it clear: no one cares. I'm not wasting my time arguing with you, so don't bother trying, and don't pretend like you aren't a troll.

[pupus4]

@pineapplebaron Oh you did, you were very clear, but you see, i don't care what you say, you're not gonna stop my freedom of speech, specially thru the internet, i'll be dead before i let you take the rights that so many actual BRAVE MEN fought for, something you wouldn't know about.

You can stop replying at any time, i don't see why you keep doing it, sorry i don't know what "troll" means.

[pineapplebaron]

@pupus4 So now I'm the one trolling you... how ironic. You are ignorant and easily incensed; no one is denying you the right to be an idiot here, we're just strongly suggesting you take what little dignity of yours that remains and leave. What do you gain from bringing up soldiers? Absolutely nothing. You also made an error regarding your target. It just so happens that I've spent quite a bit of time researching the military, old and new, so saying I "wouldn't know about it" is exactly the--

[pupus4]

@pineapplebaron You must have alot of time in your hands to "Go off" on a person thru youtube, Congratz :)

[pineapplebaron]

@pupus4 And you must have a nonexistent, pathetic excuse for a life to troll youtube. Trolls with any intelligence about them troll IRL or 4chan, reddit, etc. So, congratulations on being a complete loser.

[pupus4]

@pineapplebaron Like i said, Congratz :)

[pineapplebaron]

@pupus4 -- kind of moronic thing I would expect you to say. It also just so happens that I'm related to upwards of fifteen of the "brave men" you speak. I might even end up as one myself. Saying I "don't know about it" actually made me laugh, so thank you for saying something so pathetically idiotic.

Of course, you'll probably say I made that up. Go ahead; I'm not particularly interested in how you perceive me.

[pupus4]

@pineapplebaron Just because you're related to real men, it doesn't make you one...

Also thats sad considering that you're "related to them", you should have learned from them, but then again, its not their fault for not teaching you, its your fault for not wanting to be a better you.

I'm sorry i'm pathetic for something i didn't know? You'll never make it kid, you lack respect, the will to survive at any cost, and the drive. (Dedication/motivation)

Actually i believe you, then again, u assume

[pineapplebaron]

@pupus4 I'm not really going to base life-changing decisions off of what a scumbag on the internet has to say in an effort to make me mad, but good try... no, wait... it wasn't. Speaking of assuming? Ironic, since that's all you've done. You have no clue what kind drive I have. You're just perpetuating your image of stupidity.

[pupus4]

@pineapplebaron "Sure"

Thats what parents do to kids when they just want them to shut up, and since you're acting like a "smart kid", i shall treat you as one :)

Goodnight.

[pineapplebaron]

@pupus4 Yes, but in your case "sure" translates to "I'm unsure how to respond to this."

Does your name happen to be Steve, and do you own a hat with a brown and black checkered pattern that you wear backwards? You sure remind me of someone that does...

[pupus4]

@pineapplebaron Goodnight :)

[pineapplebaron]

@pupus4 I can see the memes now... "Rambles about freedom of speech/ ignores what everyone else has to say"

"mocks proper English/ criticizes with a 'shall'"

Disregarding what I have to say is a poor way to troll.

[pupus4]

@pineapplebaron Remember when you said "and no one is really interested in what you have to say anymore" "Goodnight"

But yet you're still talking :O

Way to stand up to your word little buddy :)

Goodnight :D

[pupus4]

@SgtSprinkles165 Not my fault you're not a real man.

[Nevermore1417]

@SgtSprinkles165

i love this. i only wish that people would see me cry.

[sk8a420kings]

@SgtSprinkles165 EXACTLY!!!! YOU ARE SO RIGHT!

[SuperDankydank420]

the song of my life. i played this in school, i cried in front of my whole class.

[CallOfDutys97]

@SuperDankydank420 Youd better be a girl or your just a emo pussy.

[SuperDankydank420]

@CallOfDutys97 hahahha im a girl yeah hahahaha

[CallOfDutys97]

@SuperDankydank420 Im okay with girls crying its just I can't stand it when a dude cries Ijust say"you little bitch"

[SuperDankydank420]

@CallOfDutys97 yeah i guess so. everyone thinks im a boy cause of my name. girls can smoke weed too. shit even more

[CallOfDutys97]

@SuperDankydank420 Haha no doubt

[SuchAMisfit15]

such a good song. always be one of my favs. <3

[sleepyhearts]

I will never forget you

[Strongquill]

it's been awhile since i couldnt stop listening to these guys.

[xXxDjShamblesxXx]

Its been a while.. I fucking miss you god damnit :'(

[snakev10v5]

oh my god....I can not baleave I forgot this band man its been ages since I listened to this

[ColbyDavid]

@snakev10v5

So I guess "it's been a while"? =)

[RinoaShadow]

my favorite line is "I cannot blame this on my father. he did the best he could for me." because... it adds a really personal twist to it. somethign only he could sing and truly mean. im not sure.. but it seems haunting.

[georgiemonigatti]

Guess I cant change the past... but wish I could change our future.

[Musicforever222]

i love this song. i could listent ot staind all day. their songs have great meaning. <3

[castoff09]

thats the story of my entire life even till this day

[xXmasterbasserXx]

@rap0battle "And it's been awhile

Since I've seen the way the candle lights your face

And it's been awhile

But I can still remember just the way you taste"

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the song probably isn't about his father leaving.

[allsecretsknown]

This strongly reminds me of a recent ex...

:(

and yes.

we had to break up.

by force.

[shramaw]

~this song started playing on the way home from my husband's funeral after he had been murdered... it really said it ALL for me----

[AOD1113]

@shramaw im sorry for your loss

[Exzina]

@ClaudiusD Im sorry but your wrong. We should force them to listen to this Music. And tie their hands together, so they cant leave stupid comments. Retards listening to the music isnt a problem. Retards commenting on the music video, cause they dont like it, is a issue..

[DieBockereder]

best

[MissHaleyForrest]

Amazing song? Yep.

[theABmusic1]

love this music

[bondservant4Him]

whats this song about anyways?

[emoslap]

@bondservant4Him Total guess but i think its about a guy that had the love of his life leave him because he was on drugs and shit...Again thats just a guess correct me if im wrong :P

[rap0battle]

@bondservant4Him a drug addiction, losing a women he loved, his father

[PaintTheSilence1]

I love, love, love this song!

[conoverabbey]

u could never get itred of this song,theyre amazing!!!

[fuckoff4real2k10]

yea im so in to this song rite now

[TeaMsMileyMiley]

This song reminds me of my Dad. It was his favorite song...

[1988sonnyb]

this song takes me back to high school, back in 2002..I remember I used to get locked in my room and listen to this when I'd had a bad day..by that time it used to happen very often, so I spent many afternoons smokin' Marlboro's and listenin' to all "Break The Circle"

[AtumnLeaf7463]

haha that saying below the lyrics is what i use all the time! =) yes some cases. lol . most rap songs would be better if they didnt fuck up the lyrics. cuz half the songs actually have great beats and would be good songs if they didnt always talk about things that dont matter or typical shit.

[formatkiller100]

their so much emotions coming thro their music love them

[jekdop]

this is the song to one of my best friends, who hurt me on the inside

[PITBIKER98]

Ass

[pinksanjan]
