When he was seeing her



You could see he had his doubts

And now he’s missing her



Because he knows he missing out

And now it’s haunting him



Her memory’s like a ghost

And he’s so terrified





He’s the guy that you should feel sorry for

He had the world, but he thought that he wanted more

I owe it all to the mistake he made back then

I owe it all to my girl’s ex-boyfriend





This undeserving mess

Who would believe



My life would be so blessed

Two years ago



When he left all that debris

Who would have known



He would leave everything I need



He’s the guy that you should feel sorry for

He had the world, but he thought that he wanted more

I owe it all to the mistake he made back then

I owe it all to my girl’s ex-boyfriend



If it wasn't for him, I would still be searching

If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know my best friend

If it wasn't for him, he would be able to see

That if it wasn't for him, he'd be as happy as me



When she and I settle down you can bet

That he is going to have to settle for less

He's someone I would hate to be

I got the girl, and he’s left with just the memory



He’s the guy that you should feel sorry for

He had the world, but he thought that he wanted more

I owe it all to the mistake he made back then

I owe it all to my girl’s ex-boyfriend



If it wasn't for him, I would still be searching

If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know my best friend

If it wasn't for him, he would be able to see

That if it wasn't for him, he'd be as happy as me
