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 abandon 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 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 *Repeat 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 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
