From Wikipedia: Break the Cycle is Staind's third studio album from 2001. It is Staind's most successful album to date, and was the album that broke them into the mainstream. It was a huge international success for the band, as it spent 3 weeks at number 1 position in the U.S. album charts and many weeks in the top 10 album charts of The Billboard 200, the UK and New Zealand. It sold 4 million copies in 2001. A total of 5 singles were released from this album, "It's Been Awhile", "Fade", "Outside", "For You" and "Epiphany", all of which did reasonably well. There were videos made for each of these songs (some of which can be found on Staind's MTV Unplugged DVD). The first four singles had varying degrees of success in the UK, "It's Been Awhile" charting the highest of the four released in both countries. The album also includes a track called "Waste" dedicated to two teenage fans who committed suicide. While a heavy metal album, the album begins to show the bands future post-grunge style which is very evident in the album's hit "It's Been Awhile". There is also a bonus track on the album. In the U.S., the bonus track is an acoustic version of "It's Been Awhile". However on the Australian and European editions, the bonus track is a live acoustic version of "Outside", performed with Fred Durst in Biloxi, Mississippi on the Family Values Tour 1999. Lyrics: And it's been a while Since I could hold my head up high And it's been a while since I first saw you And it's been a while since I could stand on my own two feet again And it's been a while since I could call you And everything I can't remember As fucked up as it all may seem The consequences that I've rendered I've stretched myself beyond my means It's been awhile Since I can say that I wasn't addicted And it's been a while since I can say I love myself as well and And it's been a while since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do And it's been a while but all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you And everything I can't remember As fucked up as it all may seem The consequences that I've rendered I've gone and fucked things up again, yeah... Why must I feel this way? Just make this go away Just one more peaceful day And it's been a while Since I could look at myself straight And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry And it's been a while since I've seen the way the candles light your face And it's been a while but I can still remember just the way you taste And everything I can't remember As fucked up as it all may seem to be, I know it's me I cannot blame this on my father He did the best he could for me And it's been a while Since I could hold my head up high And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry
