Piece by Piece Lyrics

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 abandon things
Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me at six years old
You know, he never walks away, he never asks for money
He takes care of me, he loves me
Piece by piece he restores 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 abandon things
Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me at six years old
You know, he never walks away, he never asks for money
He takes care of me, he loves me
Piece by piece he restores 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 would 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
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
Piece by piece
