It's good to be the king, 
I've heard it said 
That's why 
I let you put a crown on my head 
Hoping that 
I'll never be forced to fake 
Actions that 
I'll never have to take 
I let you think 
I was a better man 
With pretty words about how true 
I am Humbly pretending to be brave and strong 
Inside I'm wondering, what if 
I'm wrong? 
Every once in a while you'll see 
Things are not what they seem to be 
Like the moment you saw through me 
Ah, but when push comes to shove 
I had lost the thing 
I love When 
I lost the courage of my convictions (Courage of my convictions) 
I never let you see my doubting side 
I've always felt there's things you can't confide 
I need to be what 
I need to be 
However artificially 
And now I haven't got a thing to show 
For all the posing and the bravado 
You tested me and 
I had to fail 
No longer am 
I a super male 
I was proud and 
I had to fall 
Now my image has grown so small 
And to think that 
I had it all 
Ah, but when push came to shove 
I had lost the thing 
I love When 
I lost the courage of my convictions (Courage of my convictions) 
And I live in constant fear 
That I'll never have you here 
Til I find the courage of my convictions (Courage of my convictions) 
Ah, but when push comes to shove 
I will have the thing 
I love If 
I have the courage of my convictions (Courage of my convictions) 
And your heart 
I would enslave 
And this whole world 
I would save 
If I have the courage of my convictions (Courage of my convictions)
