Chorus 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
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
Chorus
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
