To me it's always seemed really obvious what the song is talking about, and none of the other comments have close to my interpretation, so here it is.
It's about a "nice guy" that is in a friends with benefits type situation. He's in love with the girl, but she doesn't love him, at least not in the same way. He's always been there for her when things go badly for her, but she's always going for other guys and then coming back to him when she's upset that things didn't work out.
To her he's the rebound guy that'll always be there for him, and that's it.
It's about a guy friend who is strictly just a friend that she keeps going to as a security blanket. He gets none of the other benefits other than to help her feel beautiful which gives him a seemingly unfulfilled happiness

he feels like his insecurity gets in the way because she waiting for or involved with someone who can sweep her off her feet and he's not that type, but his door is always open because he'll always be waiting.

i just hope for his sake he's smart enough to keep his options open because waiting usually doesn't work out. they just move on to the next thing that sweeps them off their feet.

Maybe. I still think she's using him for sex though, whenever she's on the rebound. These lines imply that to me:

I stupid chick wrote about her triangular experience and everyone copycats ignoring words, tenses in the lyrics, and the video. Obviously the guy has no problems with girls. But he likes this former beauty queen even though she is a slut and in a relationship with an alder guy maybe because he can arrange a lifestyle she wants. Love is for STUPID young dudes anyway.
