"it's been a while" lyrics

I don't know how to play it cool, I feel burned
I don't know how to say it til it's your turn
Running round and pretend it's all good
It drags me down
It drags me down, oh

I don't know why I say it's nothing, when it hurts
I don't know what I'm feeling cause it's all blurred
Heading down all the way and I can't
I can't hold on
I can't hold on

It's been a while
Since I've seen myself smile
Since I've felt a new high
But I'll get there with time
It's been a while
Since I held my head high
But you open my eyes
Know it will be alright
It's been a while
It's been a while

Yeah, I know it's been a while
Since I walked out and said goodbye
But right now it's so good to see you
I took some time to realize
That what we had was so damn right
You're the only one that I need now

It's been a while
Since I've seen myself smile
Since I've felt a new high
But I'll get there with time
It's been a while
Since I held my head high
But you open my eyes
Know it will be alright
It's been a while
It's been a while

It's been a while
