Pop song about a girl who apologizes to nerdy high school boy?
April 8, 2013 8:29 AM Subscribe
Songfilter: I heard this pop song in a mall a couple of months ago and its memoryworming me in a particularly annoying way. The singer addresses a nerdy/geeky boy she knew in high school and essentially apologizes for the bad treatment he got from her and her popular friends. (At least in my memory its a girl singing. Could be wrong.) Seems like it should be Taylor Swift or something but googling lyrics is killing me and everyone I know is too old to ask.
Best answer: Ooh, that was fast. That's it. But if anyone knows other songs on this theme I'd be curious.

John Darnielle has one on a similar subject: You Were Cool.

Avril Lavigne: Sk8er Boi, in a roundabout sort of way.

Taylor Swift does have a song that follows this basic idea (You Belong to Me), although it's her being upset that a guy is choosing Ms. Popular over her (it's always struck me as strange, given the reality that Taylor Swift is indeed Ms. Popular, but whatever).
