I am a man of conviction, I shattered these walls
Spent my life in a bottle, cut myself had to crawl
Stared down a barrel of a 45, dared the man on the other side
To have the guts to pull the trigger
I am a man of conviction
CHORUS
Convicted of loving one girl too much
Sentenced to live without her touch
Convicted of somehow forgetting God
Sentenced to life of hell on earth
And they aint coming back, Ive never known either to lie
It wasnt my intention, I am a man of conviction
A promise made a promise broken, Ive left nothing uncertain
I took the lower road, my back bent to carry my load
I broke hearts along the way, made a fool of myself most days
It wasnt my intention, but I am a man of conviction
CHORUS x2
No dont you cry for me, Ive made this bed where I lie
It wasnt my intention, I am a man of conviction
Its too late for intervention, I am a man of conviction
