And all I remember is your back
Walking towards the airport
leaving us all in your past
I traveled fifteen 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, 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
'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
And she will never have
to wonder her worth
Because unlike you I'm going
to 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
And piece by piece
he'll restore my faith
That a man can be kind
and a father should be great
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
