General CommentI just heard this song recently and I love it. It's so simple but so true. To me, it's about that guy that you thought you were in love with but through his actions you knew you could never love someone with his character. You were really upset at first and you wanted him to prove to be the guy you thought you were falling in love with but he never does. You then meet another guy who is so amazing and shows you what it is to really love someone. He just makes you smile and you can't stop.

You realize that if the first guy had never messed up you would probably still be with him and would have missed out. In that sense you got lucky because 'you dodged the bullet'. You are actually glad that the original guy turned out the way he did. You were a beautiful and wonderful girl that would have done anything for him but he never got all of you because he messed up pretty big over and over 'you turned out to be the best thing I never had. And I will always be the best thing you never had.' He will always have to live with the fact that he lost you and in that essence it ' bet it sucks to be you right now.'
