Title: "A New Daddy Now"
(Verse 1)
Three months ago, he walked through the door,
A friend of a friend, and nothing more.
But the whispers they started, late at night,
While I worked so hard, to get my health right.
Her smile faded when I was around,
Guess the seeds of betrayal had been sown in the ground.
Her stepmom knew, her best friend, too,
They all kept quiet, while I had no clue.
(Chorus)
She tore my heart out, she left me behind,
At the darkest hour of my troubled life.
But the knife cut deepest,
When my baby girl said, I can’t call you Daddy anymore “my Momma said I’ve got a new daddy now."
I’ve got a new daddy now.
(Verse 2)
My health was failing, I was holding on,
She packed her bags before the break of dawn.
A lot of words, and very poor reasons, then a bitter goodbye,
Turned my whole world into a stormy sky.
Her friend lit the fire, her stepmom stood by,
They all watched my world go up in lies.
While I fought for my breath, she found her escape,
Left me broken, alone in this battered state.
(Chorus)
She tore my heart out, left me behind,
At the darkest hour of my troubled life.
But the knife cut deepest, I can’t figure how,
When my baby girl said, "I can’t call you Daddy anymore, “my Momma said I’ve got a new daddy now."
I’ve got a new daddy now.
(Bridge)
I thought love meant forever, through thick and thin,
But I guess my weakness was where it’d end.
Now I’m haunted by the laughter in her lies,
And a little girl’s voice that still makes me cry.
(Chorus)
She tore my heart out, left me behind,
At the darkest hour of my troubled life.
But the knife cut deepest, I can’t figure how,
When my baby girl said, "I’m not allowed to call you Daddy anymore “my Momma said I’ve got a new daddy now."
I’ve got a new daddy now.
(Outro)
So I stand here broken, but I won’t fall,
Picking up pieces, rebuilding it all.
But the echo lingers, no matter the vow ,
Of her tiny voice saying, I can’t call you Daddy anymore “my Momma said I’ve got a new daddy now."
I’ve got a new daddy now
