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]
