Lyrics I was dreaming of the past And my heart was beating fast I began to lose control I began to lose control I didn’t mean to hurt you I’m sorry that I made you cry I didn’t mean to hurt you I’m just a jealous guy I was feeling insecure You might not love me anymore I was shivering inside I was shivering inside I didn’t mean to hurt you I’m sorry that I made you cry I didn’t want to hurt you I’m just a jealous guy I was trying to catch your eye Thought that you were trying to hide I was swallowing my pain I was swallowing my pain I didn’t mean to hurt you I’m sorry that I made you cry I didn’t mean to hurt you I’m just a jealous guy
