Lyrics

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
And now it's haunting him with memories like a ghost
And 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 when you left all that debris
Who would have known it 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 you would be able to see
That if it wasn't for him, he'd be as happy as me

When she and I settled down you can bet
That he is gonna 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 girls 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 you would be able to see
That if it wasn't for him, he'd be as happy as me
