And all I remember is your back Walking towards the airport leaving us all in your past I traveled 1500 miles to see you Begged you to want me But you didn't want to
But piece by piece you collected me Up off the ground but you abandoned things And piece by piece you filled the holes that you burned in me At six years old and no 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 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 you collected me Up off the ground but you abandoned things And piece by piece you filled the holes that you burned in me At six years old and no 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...
Piece by piece I fell far from the tree I would never leave her like you left me She will never have to wonder her worth Because unlike you I'm gonna put her first 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
