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 
Alyssa Lies 
To the classroom 
Alyssa lies 
Everyday at school 
Alyssa lies 
To the teachers 
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 
Alyssa Lies 
To the classroom 
Alyssa lies 
Everyday at school 
Alyssa lies 
To the teachers 
As she tries to cover every bruise 
I had the worst night of sleep in years 
As I tried to think of 
a way to calm her fears 
I knew e actly 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
