Piece by Piece Lyrics - Kelly Clarkson

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 and

Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me

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

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 and

Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me

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

Piece by piece [x6]

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 going to 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

Piece by piece [x3].
