Piece by piece - Idol version

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
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 and
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
Cause 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
They 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
Ao 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
At 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

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
