And all I remember is your back Walking towards the airport, leaving a soul in your past I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you I 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 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 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 that 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 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 restores 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 never Piece by piece he'll restore my faith That a man can be kind and a father should be great
