I don't own the song/lyrics of "My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend" or Naruto. Those belong to Relient K and Masashi Kishimoto, respectively.

Opening/Closing scene
Story
--
Hinata is looking at a random picture. We are unable to see what or who is in the picture just yet.
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
Now it's haunting
him
The memories like a ghost
He's so terrified
Cause no one
else even comes close
She remembered how happy she was when he finally asked her out. So happy, that she failed to notice how he looked at Sakura when she didn't seem at all jealous. So happy that, at that point in time, she felt she could easily explode from it.
He's
a 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 that he
made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend
She also remembered the day he broke up with her for Sakura. That day, she had cried so hard her teammates were afraid she'd never recover. One of them, the quieter of the two, took it upon himself to see that that wouldn't happen. He had always cared for her, similarly to how she had cared for her -now ex- boyfriend, Naruto.
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
He left all that debris (left all that
debris)
Who would of known
It would be everything I need
He knew he was lucky that he had beaten her other teammate to the punch. He knew people would say he didn't deserve her. But he didn't care.
He's a 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 that he made back
then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend
That day, he had wanted to kill Naruto. Or at least hit him, or yell at him, or something! But he hadn't, because she had asked, nay, begged him not to. Kiba hadn't been quite so restrained about it. As usual.
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
If it wasn't for him
He would be as happy
as me
Almost a year had passed before he finally worked up the nerve to ask her out, and he was the happiest he'd been in a long time when she said yes.
She
and I settled down you can bet
That he is going to have to settle
for less
He's someone that I would hate to be
I got the girl
and he's left with just the memory.
Another year passed, and he asked her the one question he'd always hoped to be able to ask, someday. Her only answer was to throw her arms around his neck and smile from ear to ear. But that was good enough for him.
He's
a 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 that he
made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend
Naruto and Sakura were both invited to the wedding, and they did come, but he noticed several jealous glances, all throughout the night that Naruto kept directing at him.
'Too bad, Naruto, you lost her the day you broke her heart.' He thought to himself.
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
If it wasn't for him
He would be as happy
as me
Shino enters the room, and asks her something quietly. She smiles and sets down the picture. It is faded and worn, like it has been picked up and set down many times. Both exit, and the picture is shown clearly. It is a picture of the two on their wedding day, and, in the corner is written, in Shino's semi-tidy scrawl, 'This might never have happened without him.'
