Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And all I remember is your back

Walkin' towards the airport, leavin' us all in your past

I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you

Begged you to want me, but you didn't want to

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

And all of your words fall flat

I made somethin' 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

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

Piece by piece

[Chorus]

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 restored my faith

That a man can be kind and a father should be great

[Outro]
