Does this song sound musically like "I want it that way" by the Backstreet Boys to anyone else? or is it just me

umm i dont really think so "i want it that way" is more like expressing wistfully how he wants the girl back,with whom things might have gone wrong but "best i never had" is a woman telling her ex she s happy with her life now and thank her ex who didnt treat her right . she had loved him once but the man was a jerk,kinda like stringing her along for sometime and then broke up.now the woman has found her real love who is the right one for her and deserves her,who is a wonderful woman...
