And all I remember is your back Walking towards the airport, leaving us all in your past I travelled fifteen hundred 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 and Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me 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 the 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 and Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me 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 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 restored my faith That a man can be kind and the Father should be great Piece by piece Piece by piece Piece by piece
