[Verse]
G D Cadd9
My little girl met a new friend just the other day
G D Cadd9
On the playground at school between the tires and the swing
G D Cadd9
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
G D Cadd9
When she said to me "daddy , Alyssa lies"
G D Cadd9
Well, I just brushed it off at first
G D Cadd9
Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
G D Cadd9
Or the things that she had seen
G D Cadd9
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me
[Chorus]
G D
She said Alyssa lies to the classroom
Cadd9 D
Alyssa lies everyday at school
G D
Alyssa lies to the teachers
Cadd9 D
As she tries to cover every bruise
[Verse]
G D Cadd9
My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep
G D Cadd9
As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
G D Cadd9
God bless my mom and my dad
G D Cadd9
And my new friend Alyssa , oh, I know she needs you bad
[Chorus]
G D
Because Alyssa lies to the classroom
Cadd9 D
Alyssa lies everyday at school
G D
Alyssa lies to the teachers
Cadd9 D
As she tries to cover every bruise
[Verse]
Em Cadd9
I had the worst night of sleep in years
G D
As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
Em Cadd9
I knew exactly what I had to do
G D
But when we got to school on Monday, I heard the news
G D Cadd9
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
G D Cadd9
The lump in my throat grew bigger with every question that she asked
G D Cadd9
Until I felt the tears run down my face
G D Cadd9
And I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today
[Chorus]
G D
She doesn't lie in the classroom
Cadd9 D
She doesn't lie anymore at school
G D
Alyssa lies with Jesus
Cadd9 D
Because there's nothing anyone would do
[Outro]
G D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why
G D Cadd9
Alyssa lies
G D Cadd9
Oh daddy, oh daddy tell me why
G
Alyssa lies
