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
 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
 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
 Chorus
