Piece by Piece

And all I remember is your back

Walking towards the airport

Leaving us all in your past

I traveled 15 hundred miles to see you

Begged you to want me

But you didn't want to

But piece by piece, he collected me

Up off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah

Piece by piece, he filled the holes

That you burned in me at six years old

And you know, he never walks away

He never asks for money

He takes care of me

He loves me

Piece by piece, he restored my faith

That a man can be kind and a father could stay

And all of your words fall flat

I made something of myself, and now you wanna come back

But your love, it isn't free, it has to be earned

Back then I didn't have anything you needed, so I was worthless

But piece by piece, he collected me

Up off the ground where you abandoned things

Piece by piece, he filled the holes

That you burned in me at six years old

And you know, he never walks away

He never asks for money

He takes care of me

'Cause he loves me

Piece by piece, he restored my faith

That a man can be kind and a father could stay

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece, I fell far from the tree

I will never leave her like you left me

She will never have to wonder her worth

Because unlike you, I'm gonna put her first

And you know, he'll never walk away

He'll never break her heart

He'll take care of things

He'll love her

Piece by piece, he restored my faith

That a man can be kind and a father should be great

Piece by piece
