Something To Deny Lyrics

If I'm here and you're here
Would you tell me something, would you tell me something?
If they all can blame you
Does it mean you are really there?
Do you make mistakes and never care?
They want something to deny
They want something to deny
If you're not here
What's that light inside of me?
If you're not here
How can the deny you?
They're racing to the bottom
When they look at you through human eyes
They trade your wisdom for their lies
We all need forgiveness
Will they put away the argument, how is it they can't commit?
And I guess I speak for myself when I bow down to you
And for everything the world trades it's soul
I've hated from the start
And it wont be long until you come and show them who you are
And there will be no more time, time for something to deny
Yeah, I just want to know

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song but never understood the logic of the line "If you're not here, how can they deny you?"

I think the line means that if God doesnt exist at all why would they bother denying him
