The way I loved you
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
Courtney was dating Justin. He was hot, nice, sensible, and incredible. In fact Courtney's single friends Katie, Sadie, Eva, and Blaineley were jealous of her and Justin's relationship.
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
Justin always knew what to say to Courtney, to make her happy when she was sad and to make her laugh. Courtney couldn't ask for better.
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
When they went out he opened up the door to his car for her. He always said she looked beautiful. With Justin, Courtney always felt fine. But when she was alone she missed Duncan Scott. He was her ex. She missed fighting with him and kissing in the rain.
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
Unlike Duncan, Justin respected her space. He never made her wait for him when they went out. He also called when he said he would. Her parents approved of him unlike Duncan. He was close to her mother. He talked about her father's lawyer company with her father. He was charming, and endearing. Courtney was so comfortable with him yet she still missed Duncan.
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
Justin couldn't tell Courtney didn't feel the same way he did. She didn't feel anything for him because she loved Duncan. The truth was she couldn't dump him because he was so perfect. Her parents wanted them together as well. Still she missed Duncan. He was wild and crazy. He frustrated her and yet intoxicated her as well. He was complicated. Letting him go was a big mistake she realized when it was too late.
He can't see the smile I'm faking I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
And my heart's not breaking
Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating intoxicating
Complicated, got away by some mistake and now
It's 2am and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
What Courtney didn't understand was Justin was so perfect yet so wrong and Duncan was imperfect but so right for her. Duncan knew all this as he watched the woman he would always love marry a man she didn't love.
