Alyssa Lies

[Verse]
My little girl met a new friend just the other day
On the playground at school between the tires and the swing
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
When she said to me "daddy , Alyssa lies"
Well, I just brushed it off at first
Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
Or the things that she had seen
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me

[Chorus]
She said Alyssa lies to the classroom
Alyssa lies everyday at school
Alyssa lies to the teachers
As she tries to cover every bruise

[Verse]
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 , oh, I know she needs you bad

[Chorus]
Because Alyssa lies to the classroom

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies
Oh daddy, oh daddy tell me why
Alyssa lies
