Piece by piece
Piece by piece
And all I remember
is your back
Walkin' towards the airport
leavin' 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
He loves me
Piece by piece
He restored my faith
That a man can be kind
and a father could stay
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 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
That a man can be kind
and a father should be great
