My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend (Relient K)
NAITLYN : )
When he was seeing her
You could see he had his doubts
Caitlyn Gellar was the perfect girlfriend for Shane Gray, but unfortunately for Caitlyn, Shane Gray doesn't do girlfriends. He does flings and we can all see how he doesn't really like her. Shane broke up with Caitlyn on her birthday. Her 16th birthday. That was two years ago and I've never been happier.
And now he's missing her
Because he knows he's missing out
Now it's haunting him
Memories like a ghost
He's so terrified
Shane's one of my best friends, now don't get me wrong, the guy's a complete jerk.
"Why'd I dump her, dude? I must be.." Shane starts up. Again.
"-stupid, idiotic, crazy, insane, delusional… need I go on, Shane?" I say with a smile.
He just glares at me and walks away. He's just mad, because I came to Caitlyn's rescue.
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
"I feel sorry for him." I say to Caitlyn as we sit down in the grass during lunch.
Caitlyn opens her lunchbox and asks, "Who?"
I just laugh and kiss the top of her head. She laughs, too as we enjoy our lunch.
So then, along comes me,
This undeserving mess (undeserving mess)
Who would believe my life
Would be so blessed (life would be so blessed)
"You remember that night, Nate?" she asks.
I scoff, as if I'd ever forget it.
Flashback: 2 years ago
I walked into the room and I saw Caitlyn yelling at Shane. I watched as Shane walked away into another girl's arms. I shook my head at his stupidness. I watched as a boy grabbed Caitlyn by her shoulders, forcing her onto a wall. I heard Caitlyn scream over the loud music, while everyone was dancing happily. Angrily, I ran up to him and pulled him off.
"I believe she said get off." I said a few seconds before I punched him.
The guy fell onto the floor, obviously now passed out. Caitlyn ran into my arms, crying hysterically. I tried to calm her down as I walked her out onto her porch.
"Shhh, it's okay now." I whispered into her hair.
A few minutes later, she was feeling better.
"Thank you, Nate. I-I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't-"
"Caitlyn.. don't worry about it. I was there and nothing happened to you. I know I'm probably not supposed to say something and ruin this moment but," I took a deep breath," you're beautiful, Caitlyn. Happy 16th. I-.. well..-"
"What is it, Nate? You can tell me." She whispered.
I nodded and pulled her out of my arms. I made her stand up with me and I caressed her cheek. I smiled at the blush on her cheeks.
Two years ago
He left all that debris (left all that debris)
Who would of known
He would leave everything I need
"I love you, Caitlyn. I always have, probably always will. I know you and Shane are together but-"
She interrupted me by kissing my lips. We both pulled away, oxygen becoming a necessity.
"I love you, too. Shane and I are history. Done. I love you and I'm pretty sure I always have." She says confidently.
My smile went a mile wide as I picked her up and spun her around.
"Caitlyn Gellar, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked nervously.
Caitlyn rolled her eyes and whispered yes, before kissing me passionately.
End Flashback..
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 he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend
I owe it all to Shane, for breaking up with Caitlyn. Who would've known two years ago, that I'd end up with the most beautiful girl? Shane's a complete idiot.
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
If it wasn't for Shane, I'd probably be- no scratch that I'd definitely be- completely miserable. I wouldn't know Caitlyn as much as I know her now. I don't think I've ever been this happy.
"Me either, Nate. I love you." Caitlyn says sweetly as she pulls me in for a hug.
Did I say that out loud? Oh well. Totally worth it. Lunch is over now and as I watch her doodle on her paper, I can't help but smile. I love her so much, that I can't help but think about how my life is blessed. Sure, I was happy before, but nothing like it is now with her.
When she and I settle 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.
I have the ring in my pocket. I'm asking her tonight. We're now graduated from high school. I haven't heard from Shane in over a month, but I couldn't care less. We were never really friends. We were just.. Acquaintances? Yeah. Anyway, tonight's the night and I'm nervous as heck. I ring the doorbell and wait patiently by the door. I can't help but think about whom Shane will end up with. I got the girl, he's just left with what he believes to be good memories. I leave that thought once Caitlyn steps out of her house, beautiful as ever.
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 he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend
"I can't believe this." Caitlyn says happily.
I smile at her and pull her in for a hug.
"Me either, can you believe it's been two years?" I say with a sigh.
"I can't..," Caitlyn sits up and then adds, "I'm going to love you forever, Nate Black."
I sit up and kiss her sweetly. I look around us on the beach, there are many couples here. I reach behind me and get the roses. I stand up and then get down on my knee. I handed her 11 real roses, then one fake rose.
"I don't get it." She says with a adorable confused face.
"I'm going to love you until the last one dies." I say with a smile on my face.
Caitlyn's eyes fill with tears as she hugs me tightly.
"Nate Black, you are the most sweetest fiancée ever!" She exclaims.
I just smile and pull her back on the blanket, into my embrace as we look at the stars.
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
