And all she remembers is your back
Walking towards the airport
Leaving them all in your past
She traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you
She begged you to want her
But you didn't want to
Then she told you
Piece by piece, he collected me, yeah
Up off the ground but you abandoned things
And piece by piece, he filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old
And, he never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
Cause he loves me
Piece by piece, he restores my faith
That a man can be kind and a father can stay, staay
And all of your words fall flat
She made something of herself
And now you wanna come back
But your love isn't free
It has to be earned
Back then she didn't have anything you needed
So she was worthless
She said
Piece by piece, he collected me, yeah
Up off the ground but you abandoned things
And piece by piece, he filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old
And he never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
'Cause he loves me
Piece by piece, he restores my faith
That a man can be kind and a father can stay
(and all she remembers is your back)
Piece by piece I wont take your league
I would never leave her like you left things
And she will never have to wonder her worth
Because unlike you I'm gonna put her first
And I'll never walk away
I'll never break her heart
I'll take care of things
I'll love her
Piece by piece, I restore her faith
That a man can be kind and a father will stay
