[Verse 1] I keep replaying it, over and over Looking for the version where I'm the fool You twist the story till I'm second-guessing But I know — I know exactly what's true [Pre-Chorus] You never say it, never say you're wrong (voice thins out) Just deny, deny, deny... and I'm still standing here [Chorus] (drums enter soft, pad swells under) Deny, deny, deny, that's all you know Push me aside 'cause you don't wanna know I'm not okay with this, no, I'm not okay You call it nothing, I call it the way you keep me away [Verse 2] (back to just guitar) I laid it out plain, as plain as I could say it And you just looked at me like I made it up Accountability — you don't speak that language You'd rather watch me drown than say enough [Pre-Chorus] You never say it, never say you're wrong Just deny, deny, deny... and I'm still standing here [Chorus] Deny, deny, deny, that's all you know Push me aside 'cause you don't wanna know I'm not okay with this, no, I'm not okay You call it nothing, I call it the way you keep me away [Bridge] (guitar and voice only, most exposed) Not my best, you said it — not me But you keep doing it, so who's it gonna be I'm done convincing you of what I already know I'm done, I'm done — watch me let it go (long breath, near-whisper) I'm done [Final Chorus] (everything in — full swell, cracked vocal, ad-libs bleeding through) Deny, deny, de-e-eny, that's all you know Push me aside 'cause you don't wanna know I'm not okay with this, no, I'm not okay You call it nothing, I call it the way you keep me away [Outro] (guitar alone again, fading out) Deny... deny... deny... Wasn't my best — but it was never mine to fix
