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 its haunting him, her memory's 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 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 gonna have to settle for less
He's someone I would hate to be
I got the girl and he's left with just a 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
