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 didn't want to

But piece by piece, he collected me

up off the ground

where you abandoned things

Piece by piece he filled the holes

that you burned in me

At si 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 restores 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

Piece by piece he filled the holes

that you burned in me

At si 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

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

And piece by piece,

he'll restore my faith

That a man can be kind and

a father should be... great

Piece by piece
