CAPO on 1st Fret
Verse I:
And all I remember is your back
Walking towards the airport leaving us all in your past
I travelled fifteen-hundred miles to see you
Begged you to want me
But you didn't want to (ahh)
Chorus:
But piece by piece you collected me
Up off the ground but you abandoned things
And piece by piece you filled the holes that you burned in me
At six years old and no
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
Verse II:
And all of your words fall flat
I made something of myself and now you wanna come back
But your love isn't free
It has to be earned
Back then I didn't have anything you needed
So I was worthless (ahh...)
Chorus:
But piece by piece you collected me
Up off the ground but you abandoned things
And piece by piece you filled the holes that you burned in me
At six years old and no
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
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Chorus II:
Piece by piece I fell far from the tree
I would never leave her like you left me and
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
