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 six years old And you know he never walks away
He never asked 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 asked 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
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 Piece
by piece he'll restore my faith
That a man can be kind
And a father should be great
