Denial

I remember the time when I was a little child

My father wouldn’t call or visit

He denied the fact that I even existed

He can’t deny the fact that I’m grown up strong and artistic

You can’t deny the fact that some of us are born different

You can’t deny the fact that your life can be gone in an instant

You can’t deny that fact that your wife left you

You can’t deny that fact somebody’s out to get you

I’ve seen so many things, so many times, so many people

So many lies, so many ways to deny

The fact that you love, the fact that you hate

The fact that you try to escape problems

The fact that you got ‘em

I’m willing to lose, I’m willing to bet

I’m willing to try and die for respect

But if I have to

I’ll break it down for you and spell it out like a child

It seems everybody’s in denial

You can’t deny

You can’t deny

You can’t deny what the truth is

Truth is

You can’t hold on to what you don’t know

So, let, let, it, it, go

You can’t deny

You can’t deny

You can’t deny what the truth is

Truth is

You can’t hold on to what you don’t know

So, let, let, it, it, go

You can’t deny the fact that your past haunts you

You can’t deny the fact that your girlfriend doesn’t want you

You can’t deny the fact that your life’s been shifted

You can’t deny the fact that I’m god gifted

You can’t deny the fact that everyone’s against you

You can’t deny the fact that your mortgage and rent is due

You can’t deny that fact that you’re falling apart slowly

You can’t deny you’re depressed, stressed and lonely

If only you can see what I see, you’d feel the same

Denial’s a game it only takes one to play

You’re lying, denying and everything seems strange

You can’t deny the fact that things change

For those who came to play the game

For those who called my name, for those who feel pain

I tried to live, I tried to die, I tried to stand strong, I’ve tried to cry

Now somehow someway I plan to stay, I plan to play

I look to pray, my feelings won’t go away

You can’t handle the truth when you’re acting like a child

You’re still lost in denial

You can’t deny

You can’t deny

You can’t deny what the truth is

Truth is

You can’t hold on to what you don’t know

So, let, let, it, it, go

You can’t deny

You can’t deny

You can’t deny what the truth is

Truth is

You can’t hold on to what you don’t know

So, let, let, it, it, go

You borrow the keys to your girlfriends ride

You find another man’s ring on the passengers’ side

You thought you kept her happy with the money you spent

You see them holding hands and you still think they’re friends

So sick of these bands that demand respect

You can count on one hand all the fans they get

So who’s the band that electrified your stages

You can’t deny the fact that we’re headed for greatness

You can’t deny

You can’t deny

You can’t deny what the truth is

Truth is

You can’t hold on to what you don’t know

So, let, let, it, it, go

You can’t deny

You can’t deny

You can’t deny what the truth is

Truth is

You can’t hold on to what you don’t know

So, let, let, it, it, go
