I remember the time when I was a little child
My father wouldnt call or visit
He denied the fact that I even existed
He cant deny the fact that Im grown up strong and artistic
You cant deny the fact that some of us are born different
You cant deny the fact that your life can be gone in an instant
You cant deny that fact that your wife left you
You cant deny that fact somebodys out to get you
Ive 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
Im willing to lose, Im willing to bet
Im willing to try and die for respect
But if I have to
Ill break it down for you and spell it out like a child
It seems everybodys in denial
[Chorus]
You cant deny
You cant deny
You cant deny what the truth is
Truth is
You cant hold on to what you dont know
So, let, let, it, it, go
You cant deny
You cant deny
You cant deny what the truth is
Truth is
You cant hold on to what you dont know
So, let, let, it, it, go
You cant deny the fact that your past haunts you
You cant deny the fact that your girlfriend doesnt want you
You cant deny the fact that your lifes been shifted
You cant deny the fact that Im god gifted
You cant deny the fact that everyones against you
You cant deny the fact that your mortgage and rent is due
You cant deny that fact that youre falling apart slowly
You cant deny youre depressed, stressed and lonely
If only you can see what I see, youd feel the same
Denials a game it only takes one to play
Youre lying, denying and everything seems strange
You cant 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, Ive tried to cry
Now somehow someway I plan to stay, I plan to play
I look to pray, my feelings wont go away
You cant handle the truth when youre acting like a child
Youre still lost in denial
[Chorus]
You borrow the keys to your girlfriends ride
You find another mans 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 theyre friends
So sick of these bands that demand respect
You can count on one hand all the fans they get
So whos the band that electrified your stages
You cant deny the fact that were headed for greatness
[Chorus]
