Clarkson, Kelly - Piece By Piece Lyrics
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
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, 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
'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
And she will never have to wonder her worth
Because unlike you I'm going to 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
And piece by piece he'll restore my faith
That a man can be kind and a father should be great
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece

Clarkson, Kelly Piece By Piece Comments
I still remember watching this the night it aired. Completely cracked my chest open. I cry every time I hear this song, no one deserves to grow up feeling this way. I still can't believe she pulled this off while pregnant. Love you always Kelly <3
No joke I watched this video awhile back and was in tears. I came back today and apparently I disliked it? I literally couldn’t see through the tears damn. Guess that mistake can actually happen
This song only reminds me of how much of a great of dad I had! I love you papa and I miss you everyday! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
She shouldn’t blame it on her pregnancy but she can do whatever too She’s too cute. Like love
Priceless! Kelly your are so precious and beautiful!
.....this song can fit either parents, fitting for those raised in sadnesses
This performance always gets to me 😭😭😭
My dad walked out on me when I was 14 mths and Inever saw him again after I was 5. When I got married this year I asked my father in law to do my father/ daughter dance. He raised my husband and his sister since they were in diapers as they were his own. I chose this song for him. It doesn't take blood to make a father it takes a real man.
I found my dad again when I was 27 I was so happy even though he left us at 10 years old. I bought him a new phone to keep up with him as an adult. He got rid of the phone and I never saw him again. That was the second time I lost him. Damn that hurts. Kelly is one of my favorite artist the emotions she gets me to literally feel and accept is astounding. Forever grateful to her.❤️
Gave me chills! I love her so much❤️
I love Kelly Clarkson
Ok, this isn’t funny anymore. In a few hours it will be the fourth anniversary of this video dropping. Who the hell is STILL cutting onions?
You rock, Kelly
I cried while singing this a few mins ago
I always cry when I listen to this
Everytime I watch this I cry...your the shit kelly!! You go girl!!
Whaaaoooooow!! Kelly you are truly amazing! Gosh, I have to listen to this every couple of months. You blow me away!
This song means a lot, and it's personal because, It effects me too! My dad wasn't there either!
#weALLhaveDaddyIssues!! This hits home every time I listen too.. 😭😭😭
Wow just wow feelings
that song still makes me cry
How many people rolling into 2020 still watching and absolutely loving Kelly’s performance?!?!?
You can see on Keith face that he loves his kids so much and that he would never do that to them
I really like her, but she’s just a little too melodramatic at times, especially on her new show, calm down, Kelly we’ve all had fathers and mothers abandon us.
It’s 2020. My dad tried to come back to my life...acting like the father of the year. This song will get to me for so many reasons...
Well, it’s a real broken hearted song. Not by a lover but by the first man that any child has ever loved. That is a true testament to every child who just wanted their father. People nowadays say they don’t need a man to help raise the family, it’s not about you, it’s about the children you brought into this world. A mother and a father sets the foundation for the future.
Keith Urbans reaction makes me cry every single time
Gets me everytime... every word is what I went through. Thank you mum for being my mum and dad ❤ My success in life is because of you xx
Kelly never really got the respect she deserved. She was very under rated
This performace showed her soul...beautiful♡
This song hits home with me, I feel every word in my heart and with Kelly singing it, it means so much more. The only difference is that I didn't have anything to remember my biological father because he didn't want me and so I never knew him. It affected my whole life. I am fine with it, he is forgiven because he did what he thought was protecting me. I know this now, RIP dad.
this is one of my favorite songs Kelly sings, and it makes me cry because my father walked out on me

I miss you dad . Happy birthday .Rest in Peace .
Gets me every single time, this song.
Jennifer Lopez also crying.
Keith urban crying breaks my heart.
Kelly you dont ever have to apologize for crying.
It's 10am. Time for a nice cry!!!
My step Dad was the best rest in peace Pa i will always be gratefull for you my Best friend 💔
This song make cry because i lost my brother in a car accident and he died in the hospital in the middle of the night abount 2am in a truck driver I miss you so much William
Damn it😭
I had a man that threw me and my two sons away and, later, met a man that proved a man could be kind and father could be great. And he has for 23 years.
She’s one of my favorite american idol winner. She’s always be.😉
Jlo and Keith, the difference between someone actually crying and feeling the song and some who is trying to act emotional because it will make them look good .. Keith is a real class act.
So relatable for me. Ouch. Since the first time I found this, something hurts so bad inside of me, and it still hurts so bad every time I come back here... 😪
Kelly Clarkson is crying, the audience is crying, Keith Urban is crying, America is crying, *I'm* crying
“Super pregnant” 😂 Kelly would!!!
Looks like she woke up Keith with that one.... Might have just made him go home and become a better father.....
Unbelievable pure raw TALENT
Makes me cry every time
I listen to this all the time still one of the greatest performances ever hands down. Thank you Kelly.
Amazing
U make me forgive him. I was abandoned. I was hurt. But now I'm fulfilled. This song remind me how hard in that moment and remind me how strong my mom was. I would like to thx all of people who collect every part of me. I forgive and I move on. Thx <3
slayyyy
The pianist! 🔥🔥
Kelly and that crying judge is breaking my heart 😔❤️
I will never NOT watch this❤
Get Kelly’s dad on the phone. I just wanna talk.
Sometimes I watch this video so I can cry before sleep.
“I will never leave her like you left me and she will never have to wonder her worth because unlike you I’m going to put her first you know”
That part really got me
Can we just respect that she literally grew up on this show and was going through this. This is the best woman ever.
So so amazing
Love
Love
This so
MUCH
Learn to forgive. Last time I checked, no one perfect. God bless 🙏
We all know now that this WAS supposed to be the final season. Now that ABC has it, that's not the case anymore. Might as well just call season 15 "The Final Fox Season".
makes me cry as much as it makes you cry , Kelly. i love you...
She is still an amazing woman ♥️
Love love 💘 love love this so much
I always wanted to be with him but I know it will never happen. He already have his second family and I just wish that I can find a man that will stay with me and will love me no matter what not like what my father did to us. I don't want my children to experience the same pain I am experiencing now.
They say that there is only one man who won't hurt you and that is your father. But for me it's not he is the first man who broke my heart.
Dunno still get the sad vibes from this and have a bit of a moment, then it hits me yo stop it you doing good, peeps around me love me even when im a douche lol real love vibes lmao, loving my peeps...
It must have been super powerful if all the Judges were crying
I cry everytime i relate love u kells ur not alone boo
2 wks ago, someone stole my car and it made me think abt my father. 3 years ago, me and my father watched her sing this on Idol and he couldn't understand why I was crying so much and why I connected with it so much. A week and a half later, he stole my car. He has been on crack all of my life and this song covers everything I feel abt him. I hope that one day he gets his shit together so I don't have to sing and cry to this song when I get pregnant...
The musicians backing the most overrated "talent" show contestant and her dolphin-warble excuse for a voice are great.
4:47 🖕🏼
Everytime I watch this I tear up damnit...hits the 💓
Ignore my child left in the handle piece of shot church council petos!??!!
I love this song! But I can't help but cry everytime I listen to it! Either way, I love Kelly's ambitious love of music and I know she's going to be such an inspiration to so many because of it! (My dad just abandoned my brothers and me as well)!
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why she WON <3!!
This performance in one word - Raw - Kelly at her best - go girl - you're the best :)
that “sorry” at 3:12 got me 🥺🥺🥺
😥😥😥
not a kelly clarkson fan but OMG this raw emotion in this song,, im in love with it
Why does this song make me cry EVERY TIME!?
“Back then I didn’t have anything that you needed so I was worthless.” That may be one of the most heartbreaking lines ever written. What kind of POS makes their child feel like that? I’m far from perfect, but the best thing I’ve ever done is be the best Dad I could be for my daughter. Awesome performance.
P.S. Keith Urban breaks down in the first 60 seconds or so...
💙💙💙💙💙
Her voice is rippin souls
This and Demi Lovato's grammy performance of "Anyone" is what real music is
Omg this made me sick because who hasn't been in this situation at least one way . Amazing song and voice watched 20 times
This song hits home so much for me as my biological father abandoned me as a child. This song makes me cry every time I hear it.
i remember this performance as though it was yesterday; how is it 4 years already
OMG I love this
this hits different when its happened to u.
Damn girl! I felt that!
February 2020??
