its been a while - staind lyrics

[hazelhoneystep9111]

its been a while sence one of my best friends called me

[1999SceneGirl]

Wow. All people do is complain....its not a love song. One of his friends died bc of drugs. Now listen to the lyrics

[silverblood145]

My fiance told me to look this song up and said it describes how he feels in our current situation. I almost cried at the lyrics, he's locked up and he's got other issues and were both dealing with family issues so this song helps a lot. I love you max!! 5-21-2011

[Tia420ily]

this was mine and my ex boyfriends song.... every time i hear this song it makes me want to cry because i still love him!

[02honeydew]

Why is Staind so good! Running out of cash for their cds.

[ReinaDelAcordeonMimi]

It's been a while that I can stop worrying about the little things in life and enjoy the whole big picture =) life is great! enjoy it!

[69xoxoashley]

This song is calming me down...i guess:/

[coffeered7]

I just get this song I am struggling in life right now and feel inspired that no matter how long it takes all will be well and theres hope so thanks staind

[HellstormDragon]

Its been a while... since ive heard this song.



[westlichen]

@TheMarkTheShark86 I don't understand what the hell you just said. Engrish? -giggles-

[Dontpickmelast101]

WHY IS EVERYBODY SO DEPRESSED?

[bonesrbeautyful]

@Dontpickmelast101 because life is not fair. and it has to be a problem with our stifling society today not that we arent allowed to do things but on a mental note, we are taught to think a certain way. idealization and the "media" is infecting our generation . no one feels they can be open with there issuses, except in an anonymous youtube comment. it's disheartening really.

[Dontpickmelast101]

@bonesrbeautyful now im not really ACCEPTED by society, i was shoved away because im not good at sports, at making friends, and other crap. although im not gonna become some emo goth freak because of it. i guess its just a matter of personality, anyway not to offend anybody. i like this music though :D

[XdinosaursXgoXrawrX1]

I just now realized that he says fuck

[XdinosaursXgoXrawrX1]

dude why the caps o.0

[nananatasha1985]

I CANT BLAME THIS ON MY FATHER HE DID THE BEST HE COULD FOR ME

[ambersim14]

@nananatasha1985 that part means the most to me. :)

[MYFRIKINCLAMHANDS]

daddy.... i miss you </3

[emp1nuke]

i miss u kris..i rlly do...ik ppl say it's not right for guys to cry but girl i miss ya and have cried alot..we've dated for almost a yr and have only seen each other 3 times...and i only got to stay there for a day...if that...ur mom hates me...so she doesn't care about us...but girl..not talking to u is killing me..the fighting...less talking...baby it's killing me...im not sure how much more i can take of this :( i miss u

[DjCaprious]

@emp1nuke I bet she left your ass because she gotta tired of all the missing letters in your type. Especially the vowels. What are you, 15? Grow some balls. Quit crying over that cunt.

[emp1nuke]

@DjCaprious hahaha ur really funny back off u dont like my comment then dont comment as simple as that!

[DjCaprious]

@emp1nuke Well if this is the best response you have, I'm going to roll with the idea that you're 15. Wait a few years man. You're to damn young to understand real love.

[BringTheAnasthetic]

@emp1nuke No, he's right. You type as if you're eight years old. You're clearly not even anywhere near the maturity level required to understand all of the shit you're bitching about in your comment. I think that's quite clear, when you can't manage a single proper sentence.

[DjCaprious]

@BringTheAnasthetic Thank you, sir or madam.

[ImuluKazuko]

@emp1nuke Just ignore rude people.  I hope things get better for you.

[emp1nuke]

@ImuluKazuko ya..i dont get y people have to have there head half way shoved up there butt on youtube and make such gay comments like that..and thanks i appreciate it

[BigdaddyWarstick]

@emp1nuke hahahaha thats fucking funny man. Goddamn, move on kid, quit whining on youtube. Not our problem. Thanks for the laugh though

[lolbieberfeaver98]

@BigdaddyWarstick UR SO MEAN GET OVER URSELF JEEZ

[westlichen]

@emp1nuke Ignore the rude asses on here that are talking about your grammar and whatnot. It's alright, it's not going to be the end of the world. But, I know you're not going to take the advice of some random girl on youtube, but you need to move on. It's for the best, dear. <3

[jaceyluvscamron]

this song is mine and my bf's song!!!

[rspots]

[carl123456789101112]

[SwimmExWee]

When i was like 7 years old I thought it said its been awhile since I could hold my hand of pie!! XD wow.

[UnsaidMonsterx]

@SwimmExWee LOL ..

[muskiesrock]

i thought there was something wrong with my eyes when i first saw this lol but then i realized it was actually the color changing. anyways i love isaiah steven knight

[DezziBoo15]

Realllly wishing people of my generation could like this kind of music!! Music has deffinetly turned to shit... Exuse my language

[CallingCrowe]

@DezziBoo15: This band is hardly outside of your generation.

[awaldec]

what a great song.

[Shinakwa]

Wow....I look at some of these comments...and realize it's like a composite diary. For example, who the hell is Shelby? xD Everyone has some emotional thing to put. This song is awesome, I like to listen to it because it's good music. There.

[3clipse7]

I love this song! Every time I hear it I get the chills and I remember my Uncle Bill. He was a great drummer and he is very much missed.

[Lexieluv98]

I love this song so much because it resembles to my life so much.

[AndreaLynn721]

Torrey Sebastion Owens <3 Last song he listened to before he passed <|3 . Loved and Missed by Many <3 .

[MissRevengeUnfolded]

Wow, I love this song...

I remember listening to it with my mother, years ago.

My mother is now dead, by the way.

Everytime I hear this song, it reminds me of her, and of all the times I took her for granted... You never really know what you have until you lose it...

[colorinthemoon]

God. I wish I could talk to Shelby.

[wannabebanshee]

chills dude... I get chills

[DerekRussell95]

@wannabebanshee Every time I see your comment it makes me happy, to know some one else feels the same way I do.

[Vickyy73]

Overwhelm with flashbacks!!!

[Shaunapeedy]

what an epic song

[TheCrazymexicans13]

i think my x is trying 2 say something wen he told mi 2 look dis up :\ but wat can i say he really did fuck it all up dont noe if i can 4give him tho.. even tho i still have feelings 4 him nd im going out wit sum1 atm :\

[monkeyboy85]

beautiful song, puts most of the throwaway music out there to shame.

[Punkbitchscream]

Dear Rian, I know its been a while, since I've smiled for you. Its been a while since I've kissed your sweet lips. It's been a while since I could keep a promise to you. I know its been a while since I haven't fucked up. But all that melts away when you touch my cheek, kiss my lips, hold me tight, and tell me that you love me. I know we're a million miles away, but I promise we'll work it out like we always do. It's been a while since I saw myself as you see me. I love you. Miss you STJ. <3

[Tsoz5]

i listen to songs like these when im depressed about my dad leaving me out in the cold but in the end it will make me a better man!

[fattoldpig]

26 people are happily married

[CallingCrowe]

@fattoldpig: Usually I hate when people comment on the dislikes.

But that was good.

[ratutakaw]

@fattoldpig 27 0_o

[bloddykissesrawr]

This song always reminds me of my bf.. We're going trough some tough times but deep inside I hope he doesnt become my ex :/

[letteangel420]

this song brings back so many memories for my daughter and I when she was very young and we were going through such a rough time, her mom leaving me, putting a restraining order on me, me and my stupid addictions........GOD

[BostonShawn17]

It's been awhile since I could say I wasn't addicted. QQ I am.

[genieboy32896]

uhhh uhh!! ooohh uhh!!! omg! omg! imma bust a nut

[flyingaceify]

you know. my girlfriend broke up with me over a year again. now our love is stronger, she lives a state away since she moved closer. after we broke up she had to go to branson. one thing they should have put, is these words, "its been a while, since i could say 'i love you', to your face, its been a while, since i could kiss your lips again, its ben a while, since i last smiled, and its been a while, since i could breath again" that is how i feel for my love. just another step on the long road.

[harley883girl]

i do not like this song

[OfficialEPxChannel]

Nice song

[Dasaphire189]

Omg!! My bf dedicated this song to me when we was 10

[mnkey123]

@Dasaphire189 dang so u guys must be 11 by now?

[Dasaphire189]

@mnkey123 Hahaha! Nope I'm almost 18 now xDDD

[mnkey123]

@Dasaphire189 i know im jk :D

[Dasaphire189]

@mnkey123 Bahahahah XD

[mnkey123]

@Dasaphire189 so whats up BABY

[Dasaphire189]

@mnkey123 LMBO!!! Nothing :P

you?

[sc6709]

this is gonna be my wedding song... everyone thinks its so depressing but i think its about changing who you were and becoming someone better... its a great song!!!!

[Swingarwolf1]

@sc6709 I think its about going through a hard time... possibly even something impossible to go through alone but when you are with the right person and even if things haven't gone right for a while a real lover will always forgive you and love and things can always get better

[jarealjuicy]

its been a while since my whole familys been together

[HeavyD2544]

Its been a while since I've last been high or had a meaningful relationship with anyone. This is exactly what I am right now. I was never a fan of Staind, but this song was always one of my favorite things to listen too. Crazy how it didn't relate at all to my life when I was in grade school, but its the life I'm living now. I'm happy I looked it up since I haven't listened to it in years. Makes me wanna find myself again.

[lokeyere]

heys guys anyoen know any good software to make lyrics videos?

[CrazyReactionGirls]

its been a while since i last heard this song....

[breakstuff1369]

this song applies to all imperfect people who let shame and doubt rule them. obviously it is about the consequences of addiction, but it can also apply to someone who just got so lost and confused by life that when crisis struck, they just really had no idea how to deal with it. people do get beaten down like. usually when we see someone like that we think "what a loser" and never stop to think how they got that way or what might help them. we just label. helping to seal their fate.

[mobster2823]

DAMN THIS SONG IS SOOO BADASS I LOVE IT...YOU COULD GET LOST TO IT AND MAYBE CRY TOO WOOW!! ITS BEEN A WHILE...

[multikill92]

its been a while since my best freind died

[abbyvail7]

yea i b roke upp with him as much as i didnt want too well

[dancemylove131]

This song reminds me of my daddy...especially the part that says "it's been a while, since I wasn't addicted" ......man...brings back so many painful memories. I can't listen to this song without crying. Happens everytime...

[Wrior]

I started listening to Staind because it was one of the many CD's we had in our little GEO Metro as a kid. It got broken into and almost every CD stolen, except for this one and a couple others. Those thieves obviously had no taste, because from then on i've loved Staind.

[aurouraborealis]

i love this song.i love the gutair in the back ground while he is singing when it gets to the chorus.

[nolimit03cz]

This song rapes all songs

[DearestMyDarling]

This song just made me cry my eyes out.

[MzEvilPixie]

I Love this song....

[abbyvail7]

[MacyLynnaeJay]

@abbyvail7 it means he doesn't like you, he just wants some. 

[Superbad891]

@abbyvail7 it means hes either playing you or wants nothing 2 do with you drop him like its hot

[Lunchboxlandlol]

[tehpro17]

I used to hear this a lot with my dad... This song almost brings me to tears :)

[ProjektNexus]

This song reminds me of me and my girlfriend.. It's been a while since we've been able to spend some time together.. We both love each other and we let shit get in our way. But in the end, everything melts away when she's in my arms. (: Got to love how the perfect song comes to mind and fix a dying relationship just when it's needed.

[105Gmoney]
