My little girl met a new friend
|
Just the other day
|
On the playground at school
|
Between the tires and the swings
|
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
|
And she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa Lies"
|
|
I just brushed it off at first
|
Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
|
Or the things she had seen
|
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me
|
And she said
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Alyssa Lies
|
To the classroom
|
Alyssa lies
|
Everyday at school
|
Alyssa lies
|
To the teacher
|
As she tries to cover every bruise
|
|
My little girl laid her head down
|
That night to go to sleep
|
As I stepped out the room I heard her say
|
A prayer so soft and sweet
|
God bless my mom and my dad
|
And my new friend Alyssa
|
I know she needs you bad
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I had the worst night of sleep in years
|
As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
|
I knew exactly what i had to do
|
But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news
|
|
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
|
The lump in my throat grew bigger
|
With every question that she asked
|
Until I felt the tears run down my face
|
And I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today
|
|
She doesn't lie
|
In the classroom
|
She doesn't lie
|
Anymore at school
|
Alyssa lies
|
With Jesus
|
Because there's nothing anyone would do
|
|
Tears filled my eyes,
|
When my little girl asked me why Alyssa lies
|
|
Daddy tell me why
|
Alyssa lies
|
|
