To me this song is about how her dad has left his daughter and another person who is like her father steps in an becomes a better person than her dad will ever be.
[Verse 1]
She's impressed by the little things that I do
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 through it
She looks at love like she's being introduced to it
The first man to hold her heart put a bruise to it
Yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
She pulls away when things start going right
'Cause falling hard reminds her of that first goodbye
But I'm patient while she learns to trust
However long it takes, because
‘Bout time she knows she's good enough
She's good enough
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus 2]
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’d be proud of who she's become
'Cause she's sensitive, she's tough
Yeah, she's been always more than enough
I see everything you didn't wanna see
I'm gonna show her not everybody leaves
Don't call 'til you wanna be a father
Signed the man who loves your daughter
