I remember the time when I was a little child
My father wouldn抰 call or visit
He denied the fact that I even existed
He can抰 deny the fact that I抦 grown up strong and artistic
You can抰 deny the fact that some of us are born different
You can抰 deny the fact that your life can be gone in an instant
You can抰 deny that fact that your wife left you
You can抰 deny that fact somebody抯 out to get you
I抳e 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 æ…¹m
I抦 willing to lose, I抦 willing to bet
I抦 willing to try and die for respect
But if I have to
I抣l break it down for you and spell it out like a child
It seems everybody抯 in denial

[Chorus]
You can抰 deny
You can抰 deny
You can抰 deny what the truth is
Truth is
You can抰 hold on to what you don抰 know
So, let, let, it, it, go
You can抰 deny
You can抰 deny
You can抰 deny what the truth is
Truth is
You can抰 hold on to what you don抰 know
So, let, let, it, it, go

You can抰 deny the fact that your past haunts you
You can抰 deny the fact that your girlfriend doesn抰 want you
You can抰 deny the fact that your life抯 been shifted
You can抰 deny the fact that I抦 god gifted
You can抰 deny the fact that everyone抯 against you
You can抰 deny the fact that your mortgage and rent is due
You can抰 deny that fact that you抮e falling apart slowly
You can抰 deny you抮e depressed, stressed and lonely
If only you can see what I see, you抎 feel the same
Denial抯 a game it only takes one to play
You抮e lying, denying and everything seems strange
You can抰 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抳e tried to cry
Now somehow someway I plan to stay, I plan to play
I look to pray, my feelings won抰 go away
You can抰 handle the truth when you抮e acting like a child
You抮e still lost in denial

[Chorus]

You borrow the keys to your girlfriends ride
You find another man抯 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抮e friends
So sick of these bands that demand respect
You can count on one hand all the fans they get
So who抯 the band that electrified your stages
You can抰 deny the fact that we抮e headed for greatness

[Chorus]
