Lyrics
CONVICTED
©2005 Jim Berryhill/JanElaine Eller
Verse 1: I own every accusation
Every charge and allegation
For breaking down all your defenses
Getting to your comfort zone
I walked in without permission
Cuz I was drawn to your condition
Of the love I saw inside you
Through that wall you?d built of stone
Chorus:
I stand on my word
Unashamed of the truth
You?re my judge, and my jury
And I?m your proof
You can take your time
Accepting all that I?ve admitted
And if my love?s a crime
I stand convicted
Verse 2: And though you?re the one imprisoned
By fear and indecision
I?ll be waiting for you
When it?s time to leave your pain
And I?ll keep on testifying
Because I won?t live a lie and
I?m here to reassure you
That you?ll live to love again
Bridge: We?ve all known bad love and thought the dye was cast
But please don?t mistake me for the past
