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
begged you to want me but you didnt 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 isnt free it has to be earned
back then i didnt 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 ’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 will never have to wonder her worth
because unlike you im gonna put her first
and you know
hell never walk away
hell never break her heart
hell take care of things hell love her
piece by piece he restored my faith
that a man can be kind and a father should be great
piece by piece
piece by piece
piece by piece
