(Verse 1)
Three months ago, he walked through the door,
A friend of a friend, nothing more.
But the whispers started, late at night,
While I worked so hard, to make things right.
Her smile faded when I wasn’t 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, 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’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.
Not a word, not a reason, just 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’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’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’ve got a new daddy now."
I’ve got a new daddy
