And all I remember is your back Walking towards the airport Leaving us all in your past I traveled 15 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, yeah 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 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 wanna 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 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 Piece by piece Piece by piece Piece by piece Piece by piece Piece by piece, I fell far from the tree I will never leave her like you left me 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 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 Piece by piece Piece by piece

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick And think of you Caught up in circles Confusion is nothing new Flashback, warm nights Almost left behind Suitcase of memories Time after Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far ahead You're calling to me, I cannot hear What you've said You said, "Go slow" I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost, you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting Time after time Time after time After my picture fades and darkness has Turned to gray Watching through windows You're wondering if I'm okay The secrets stolen from deep inside The drum beats out of time If you're lost, you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting Time after time You said, "Go slow" I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost, you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting Time after time Time after time Time after time
