She's impressed by the little things that I do
But when I say that I'll stay, she don't think it's true
She doesn't know what she has to offer
Underneath her broken heart armor
Still scared to love, and that's thanks to you

The way she talks, I can tell that she's been though it
She looks and love like she's being introduced to it
The first man to hold her heart put a bruise to it
Yeah

So this is for the guy who loved her before me
And every lie that you let her believe
How could you run from somebody like her?
And break her down 'til she don't know what she's worth
'Cause she's smart, she's pretty, she's funny
Man, it's a pity
When you sober up, maybe you should call her
Signed, the man who loves your daughter

She pulls away when things start going rot
'Cause falling harder matters at the first goodbye
But I'm patient while she learns to trust
However long it takes because
That time she knows she's good enough
She's good enough

So this is for the guy who loved her before me
And every lie that you let her believe
How could you run from somebody like her?
And break her down 'til she don't know what she's worth
'Cause she's smart, she's pretty, she's funny
Man, it's a pity
When you sober up, maybe you should call her
Signed, the man who loves your daughter

You don't have to try and fix it all
Just let her know it's not her fault
Just let her know it's not her fault
You know it's not her fault, no

So this is for the guy who loved her before me
And every lie that you let her believe
No, you can't change what's been done
But you'll be proud of who she's become
'Cause she's sensitive, she's tough
Yeah, she's always been more than enough
I see everything you didn't wanna see

I'm gonna show her not everybody leaves
And don't call 'til you wanna be her father
Signed, the man who loves your daughter
