Piece by Piece (2023 Version) [Live] Kelly Clarkson

[Verse 1]
And all I remember is your back
Walkin' towards the airport, leavin' us all in your past
I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you (Ah)
Begged you to want me, but you didn't want to (Ah)

[Chorus]
But piece by piece, I collected me
Up off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah
Piece by piece, I filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old
And you know
I just walk away when they ask for money
I take care of me, cause I love me
Piece by piece, I restored my faith
That a heart can still beat, even when it breaks

[Verse 2]
And all of your words fall flat
I made somethin' of myself and now you wanna come back
But your love, it isn't free, it has to be earned (Ah)
Back then I didn’t have anything you needed, so I was worthless (Ah)

[Chorus]
But piece by piece, I collected me
Up off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah
Piece by piece, I filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old
And you know
I just walk away when they ask for money
I take care of me, cause I love me
Piece by piece, I restored my faith
That a heart can still beat, even when it breaks
