My Girl’s Ex-Boyfriend

[Verse 1]
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, her memory's like a ghost
And he's so terrified 'cause no one else even comes close

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
So then along comes me, this undeserving mess (Undeserving mess)
Who would believe my life would be so blessed? (Life would be so blessed)
Two years ago when he left all that debris (Left all that debris)
Who would have known he would leave everything I need?

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
(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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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
