When he was seeing her

 You could see he had his doubts

And now he's missing her

 Because he knows he's missing out

Now it's haunting him

 The memories like a ghost

He's so terrified

 Cause no one else even comes close

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

So then, along comes me,

 This undeserving mess

Who would believe

 My life would be so blessed

 Two years ago

 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

 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 that 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

 If it wasn't for him

He'd be as happy as me
