Piece By Piece (Idol Version) - Kelly Clarkson

Written by：Gregory Kurstin/Kelly Clarkson

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

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 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

And all of your words fall flat

I need 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

And piece by piece he 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

'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 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 no 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
