Piece By Piece (Live) - Thea Helen Dalen

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

I could draw your fingerprints And all the shades around your shoulder I could paint your silhouette And every cell I touch when I hold you And now I see you cry Just like a fading light You're giving up and you're Falling apart But piece by piece I'll put you back together The words you said I remember every letter I know you by heart, I know all you are So when you're falling apart I will put you together Piece by piece Every dream you ever told I wrote them down to save your sad eyes Your bruise and break but that's OK The finest things are always fragile I know you find it hard That's just the way you are I'll be here when you're falling apart But piece by piece I'll put you back together The words you said I remember every letter I know you by heart, I know all you are So when you're falling apart I will put you back together Oho oh But piece by piece I'll put you back together The words you said I remember every letter I know you by heart, I know all you are So when you're falling apart I will put you back together Piece by piece Piece by piece

Well Monday morning out of bed I drag a comb across my head Heard whispers from the avenues Saying "Common girl, take a day off school" The things you do when you are young Candy came and turned me on With a Beatles revolution song Had a smoke and shared a joke And said we'd drive down to the coast The things you do when you are young Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan With the top rolled back as the sun beat down And the pretty boys on the promenade Shouted "Common girl, 'cause here we are" (Angel) It's the summer of love And I feel on fire In the heavens above yeah My spirit is flying It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free The things you do when you are young So we walk the beach for an hour or two Just looking cool nothing else to do Warm winds brushed against our face Like an angel's kiss it's left no trace The things you do when you are young As the storm cloud breaks across the bay The surf-board kings have had their day And Candy said "I've got a great idea Let's get the car and drive out of here" (Angel) It's the summer of love And I feel on fire In the heavens above yeah My spirit is flying It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free The things you do when you are young The things you do when you are young Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan With the top rolled back as the sun beat down And the pretty boys on the promenade Shouted "Common girl, 'cause here we are" (Angel) It's the summer of love And I feel on fire In the heavens above yeah My spirit is flying It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free It's the summer of love And my whole world's turning In the heavens above yeah My spirit is burning It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free Yeah, it's the summer of love And I feel on fire In the heavens above yeah My spirit is flying It's the summer of love And young hearts will always run free
