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
I 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
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 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
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
