My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend Lyrics
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
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 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
And now he’s missing her
And now it’s haunting him
And he’s so terrified
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
Who would believe
Two years ago
Who would have known
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 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
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 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 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

I think the lyrics are pretty self-explanatory, but I just wanted to say that I think this is one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard.
correction:
When he left all that to breath.
When she and I settle down.
Two years ago When he left all that debree Who would have known He would leave everything I need
The new album is going to be amazing
@jollyradar: The submitted lyrics were the official ones that Matt Thiessen posted at the RK forum via another member. Of course, not all official lyrics are correct.
has anyone even commented the song yet?......no.......well i'll take the time then. This song's funny but with a serious side. I like that. Relient K has really grown up.
isnt it
Two years ago When he left all that debris ??
hrmm im probably wrong but it makes more sense to me
anyways sik song :D
in the CD booklet, it says debris.
I wonder if the song isn't really from another person's point of view, where Matt is the "someone I would hate to be." He describes the feelings that the unlucky guy would feel pretty in-depth. Not to mention that the one most prevalent theme on the CD is regretting mistakes, and this would fit in nicely.
i guess he could be (to liebherk) i hadn't thought of that...how cool are the T-shirts!!! i want one but i'm a girl so it doesn't work so well... :(
BTW LOVE THIS SONG!!!
I'm not much a fan of this genre, but this song and some other Relient K songs are rather good. It seems Matt is basically telling the listener a story, and anyone is able to figure out what he's singing about. It's kind of an "in-your-face" song to his girl's ex-boyfriend.
