Been a While Lyrics by Burden

Self Inflicted

2023

[Chorus]
Yeah, it's been a while now, ain't it?
Since you let me make a smile now, ain't it?
But she ain't gotta go and act brand new like that
Leave me on read with a text, why don't you write back?
I guess you're gone 'til tomorrow now (Ain't it?)
Well, tomorrow ain't ever comin'
I was thinkin' we could work it out, maybe
Yeah, I guess that is pretty dumb, ain't it?

[Verse 1]
I'm so sick of always hurtin'
It's so hard to shut the curtains
Can't believe how long it's been
Damn, now you're with another person
Pain, it got me slow breathin'
Careful with this broken heart
Tryna heal, don't think about it too much
'Cause it opens scars
Looked you up on social media
Somethin' I shoulda never did
Then I sent you a DM
You seen it and neglected it
You meant so much more to me than you thought that you ever did
And I think by now that it's evident

[Chorus]
Yeah, it's been a while now, ain't it?
Since you let me make a smile now, ain't it?
But she ain't gotta go and act brand new like that
Leave me on read with a text, why don't you write back?
I guess you're gone 'til tomorrow now (Ain't it?)
Well, tomorrow ain't ever comin'
I was thinkin' we could work it out, maybe
Yeah, I guess that is pretty dumb, ain't it?

[Bridge]
If you don't wanna see me again, that's fine
But the way the years fly, we don't have much time
And if I never see you again, that's fine
Say it with my poker face so no one knows I'm lyin'

[Verse 2]
From the same small town
So mega-hard not to hear about the things you do
And who you do it with and the where and when
We were strangers once and we here again
'Member late nights, ride around buzzed
By the passenger princess
Givin' both middle fingers to the world
When we felt like they was against us
I just got one thing to say
Don't be that one that got away
Because that's somethin' that'll eat at my soul
My entire life, 'til my dyin' day
I'm a changed man, not the same man
You just gotta come and see for yourself
Can a guy like me ever catch a break?
Hell, either way, I still wish you well

[Chorus]
Yeah, it's been a while now, ain't it?
Since you let me make a smile now, ain't it?
But she ain't gotta go and act brand new like that
Leave me on read with a text, why don't you write back?
I guess you're gone 'til tomorrow now (Ain't it?)
Well, tomorrow ain't ever comin'
I was thinkin' we could work it out, maybe
Yeah, I guess that is pretty dumb, ain't it?
