Someone is moving without a sound to his heels
Your heart is racing your mind is tracing
Pictures you can see, Lewis Tollani, it's me
Lewis Tollani, it's me
Lewis Tollani, it's me

I didn't mean to hurt you at all

No single thing that any man would want to see
Your nerves are moving, your watch is losing
Precious seconds now gone, Lewis Tollani, it's me

I didn't mean to hurt you at all
I didn't mean to hurt you at all
I swear
Lewis Tollani
