It's Been Awhile

It's been a while 
since I could look at you
 forgive you for all you've done 
it's been a while 
that I could forgive myself for loving you 
and move on 
it's been a while 
since I could stand alone 
without asking for help 
make a new name for myself 
and branch out again 
it's been a while 
since I was me again
