[Intro]      


[Verse]
            
 And all I rem

             
ember is your 

 
back
            
 Walking towar

              
ds the airport

             
 leaving us al

         
l in your past
             
 I traveled fi

              
fteen hundred 

            
miles to see y


ou
             
 Begged you to

  
 want me
              
 But you didn’

    
t want to

[Chorus]
             
 But piece by 

piece he colle

cted me
    
 Up off the gr

ound where you

 abandon thing

s
            
 And piece by 

              
piece he fille

              
d the holes th

        
at you burned 

in me

 At six years old and you know

 He never walk

s away

 He never asks for money

 He takes care

 of me

 He loves me
  
 Piece by piec

e

 He restored my faith
         
 That a man ca

n be kind
              
 And a father 

     
could stay

[Verse]
            
 And all of yo

             
ur words fall 

  
flat
            
 I made someth

              
ing of myself 

             
and now you wa

              
nna come back
             
 But your love

            
 it isn’t free
              
 It has to be 

 
earned
             
 Back then I d

              
idn’t have any

  
thing you need

ed
         
 So I was wort

hless

[Chorus]
             
 But piece by 

piece he colle

cted me
    
 Up off the gr

ound where you

 abandon thing

s
            
 And piece by 

              
piece he fille

              
d the holes th

        
at you burned 

in me

 At six years old and you know

 He never walk

s away

 He never asks for money

 He takes care

 of me

 He loves me

 He restored my faith
         
 That a man ca

n be kind     

              

      
 And a father could stay
