Song lyrics
My little girl met a new friend just the other day
On the playground at school between the tires and the swing
And she came home with tear-filled eyes
When she said to me daddy, Alyssa lies

Well, I just brushed it off at first
cuz I didnt know how much my little girl had been hurt
Or the things that she had seen
I wasnt ready when I said you can tell me

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, oh, I know she needs you bad

Because 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 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 wouldnt be at school today

Cuz she doesnt lie in the classroom
She doesnt lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
Because theres nothing anyone would do

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

I wouldn't attempt to rate this song(on it's "musical composition/worth),since

it's just not that type of song(Pop), it's so much deeper.

The last time I heard it(today) though, I looked at it from a different angle -

from the Father's position, wondering, how many times people HESITATED,

just a little while, but, that "little while" was all it took for some horrible event

to actually take place???

What a shame.

Its even more sad when you have to sit back and watch a child.... a brother at that... go though with abuse every night.... over and over again, its like you can have the most wealthy (lots of money) parents in the world and still see the same thing every night......its horrible.


Is that the point of child abuse?... To make you suffer and have fear in you until you dye and decay. Do they do it so they laugh and go out for another victim, to ruin and torture them for their entire childhood?... Just never let it get to you... That's also a way that they send the fear bolting through your body and send the shiver down your spine... And before you know it... Your be just like the victim before you......dead...

And besides that! This song is very sad.... although I didn't cry..... I don't ever show much emotion no matter what... oh well!! It was a great song!!

I cried to, and i believe that in a situation like the one described in the song, the kid might not be ashamed...they might think that they did something to deserve it, but mostly i think that the kid is just to scared of what's going on and that if they tell someone it might only make matters worse. It's sad how many children go through abuse.

Overall I L-O-V-E this song...
But I think that there is something to be said about the lyrics.
I think that they lyrics show the true inner stuggle of someone who is in an abusive relationship in more ways than one.
I know that I have been in an abusive relationship not with anybody in my family but with a boyfriend, and what people dont understand is that you cannot get out, you feel to ashamed, and you think that you deserve it and you dont, you dont want to tell anybody because you are embarassed. It is many things that peole go through and I think that this song really captures the heart of it all.

JUST HEARD THIS SONG ONCE. IT'S QUITE UNSETTLING/DISTURBING.

LITTLE GIRL,I'LL TELL YOU WHY ALYSSA LIES.......

ALYSSA PROBABLY LIES BECAUSE BORN INTO THIS WORLD OF DECEPTION,
WHERE SO MANY THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY SEEM, MOST HUMANS ARE TOLD
/TAUGHT AT A VERY YOUNG AGE TO 1:BE STRONG,2:COVER OUR TRUE EMOTIONS,AND, 3:NOT TO LET ANYONE "IN". WELL,AS A CONSEQUENCE OF
BEING BOUNDARYLESS, ALYSSA WAS TRAPPED IN ABUSE WHICH ACTUALLY
LED TO AN ODD KIND OF MARTYRDOM.

"THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE", BUT,IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT, MAYBE YOU CAN TAKE HOPE IN KNOWING THAT THE "EVILDOER" WILL MOST LIKELY
FACE HELL(THE RESULT OF THEIR EVIL ACTIONS) A LITTLE BIT SOONER -
BEFORE THEY DESTROY ANYONE ELSE'S LIFE.
