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
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 6 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 want to
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 6 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’ll 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 restored my faith
That a man can be kind,
and a Father should be... great.
