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 Begged you to want me, but you didn't want to (Ah) 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 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) 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 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 them like you left me And they will never have to wonder their worth Because unlike you, I'm gonna put them first And you know I'll never walk away, I'll never break their hearts I'll take care of things, when you leave scars Piece by piece, I restored my faith That a heart can still beat even when it breaks Piece by piece Piece by piece Piece by piece
@@on_my_own_two_feet She's spent the past 3 yrs (& counting) trashing her children's father so now they know how much their mother and everyone else despises their father because instead of seeking therapy she's chosen instead to bad mouth their father (whom I'm sure they love very much) so her fans (who made her rich & famous) will stroke her poor, precious ego at the expense of her children because she can't stfu up about her private business. And anyone who cheers on a mother who trashes her children's other parent either does it themselves or has no problem celebrating a mother who thinks half of who her children are is a bad person. Way to go mom! GROSS!
Amen to that! I love that she’s taken ownership back of this super important song in her catalogue and not just left it behind because it no longer reflects the reality of the circumstance. Weirdly, it feels like this is how it should’ve always been anyway. Hope she releases it. A double release with ABCDEFU would be awesome 🤣
@@ElenGolightlybasically the original lyrics of this song were about her now ex-husband, saying that he healed her scars and helped her to realize that a man can be kind and a great father. Now in the new lyrics, she says that she healed her own scars and prove to herself that she can get through about anything and be the hero for her children, because she realized that she is her own hero of her story. Sorry if it gets confused, english it's not my first language.
Okay… I loved this version but I still love the original. I am impressed at the beautiful and clever way that she rewrote this song. I still cry like a baby every time I hear this song. I always appreciate when an artist puts their heart and soul in their work, no matter what type of music they’re into. Awesome job Kelly, as usual!! Also, I don’t even like wearing dresses but I love that dress she is wearing!
@@jefersonferreira6665close. Her father abandoned her at 6 years old and she’s saying her ex filled in all the holes and would never ask her for money, abandon her and their kids, because he loves her. As well as she is going to put her daughter first unlike her dad did for her.
I didn’t think we’d ever hear her perform this again. I bet it was hard for her even with the new lyric changes. Bless your heart Miss Kelly ❤ love it!
I truly hope she records this version. This was incredible and I think it's probably one of her best written songs even though she was just trying to change the meaning of the other one. A lot of her songs are about her strength but I think this one quietly says more than a lot of them do. Incredible job
This version is a MILLION times better! The first version was played when I was depressed and I stayed there. This new version is to be played when I’m depressed to push me through and is empowering. I hope so badly she releases this new version!!
I'm not crying, I am not. I'm bawling my damn eyes out. "I take care of things, when you leave scars". Wow. Every parent who has to try to put their babies' hearts back to together after the other parents hurt them is probably bawling right now!
The way this song should always have been, gurrrrls gotta rescue themselves, please re record this @kellyclarkson, this is it, this is my piece by piece ❤
I love this version. I love both versions but this version is so good to show people that u can do it yourself, it is not easy but everyone has baggage and everyone has been thru shit but don’t let it decide your fate.
I need a version of this song that’s about an abusive parent and healing and recovering from that and learning to love yourself piece by piece that’s what I listen to this song for instead of about a abusive relationship with a guy. Love this song so much!
I really do hope she records this version. So many of us have gone through this same exact whirlwind with this song. Resonated with it only to be shattered again by the very person we were singing with her about. 🤍 she’s who told Taylor to re record her versions, & I so hope she does the same for herself 🥹😭
Thank you. The original versions made me so sad after my divorce. Now I know it’s me and has always been me. My kids will never know a mama not present because mama healed herself so they would not endure the same trauma.
I've always thought pbp's original version just doesn't match with the lyrics. Because the song is kinda bright and up-beat, but the lyrics is so emotional and heartbreak. I think that's the why everyone loved the idol version. And finally it got the right lyrics!! I'm so happy to listening this version. Kelly proves she's a real genius again. I think she completed the song after seven years. It's so impressive!
I adore Kelly. Her strength & her endurance despite how painful it is. Its shit when you watch your own kids feel the same way your parent once made you feel. I wish nothing but happiness for her & her family.
I love the original because it's like she was singing my life for real. I grew up with an abusive father and a product of divorce. Taken from my mother, I was not able to reunite with her till I was 15. At 27 I met my husband who has been by my side through think and thin (this is his account). The song just hit so many points in my life. I'm still married, going on 26 years now. Father, dead and gone... My mom is still living life, and I appreciate all her sacrifices. She is a rock!!! Love that Kelly found her strength for herself and her children, and this new version of her song is her anthem. ❤️
This is a new level of maturity that our generation has arrived at together. Kelly seems to be expressing what many of us feel at this stage of life. I am happy for you picking your own pieces bc I know how it feels.
Brings chills and tears to my eyes. She’s so beautiful inside and outside. “Piece by Piece I restore my faith that a heart can still beat even when it breaks” ❤️❤️❤️
IM SO GLAD SHE changed it cuz I didn't necessarily like the praise for someone else in the song. I think it's so much more powerful saying this is what my parent did & I'll never repeat those mistakes with my kids. I hope she does the piano version & records the official version 😭
Needing this song right now! I had the same situation - thought my partner healed a lot that occurred before and having to navigate through finding my own worth and get through life without anybody else's support or validation. What a healing version of her song for me right now - go Kelly!!
I love this version even more! We don't have to wait for a man or partner to pick us up and someone else can't really heal us, and it means all the more when you find the strength and confidence in your own power to pick yourself up and do the work to heal yourself. ❤ *disclaimer, I'm not talking about not asking for help when people need it, or working with a therapist to deal with past trauma and better coping skills, etc.
She literally just said on the show last week Hoda asked her if she was thinking about dating and Kelly said he'll know very deadpan very fast She says she is loving not having a man in her life.
Wow wow WOW! This is so emotional. Along with the reworked lyrics, I love that this version has a more driving beat behind it so it's more of an anthem rather than a ballad. Thank you for posting...
@@jeroenalders Yes! It's been so long that the album version is in my consciousness that I had forgotten it started out more like this. I like that she's taking it back and taking it BACK! Thanks for reminding me....❤
The new lyrics are so perfect and reassuring! And the melody of the album version was always superior and encapsulates the sentiment of the song much better. Thanks for uploading!
i pray the depth of these words hit every ear and gives them the blessing of strength that you display. your amazing and so a mirror image of me and my heart. your strong and amazing im in awe of you. we are really kindred spirits. in the beloved word of anne shirley.
Thank you for sharing this new “healing” version. And the fact that she sang it in it’s original tempo shows that’s she’s taken back her life and in a much better place now. Loved it! Loved the AI version too.
Ohh.. Instant teary eyed! ❤️🧡❤️🧡 Especially the last part where she sing about her children ❤️🩹❤️🔥❤️ (This song also just hits different after I’ve gotten a child myself 💜 (with a loving man who would never walk away))
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
Begged you to want me, but you didn't want to (Ah)
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
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)
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
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 them like you left me
And they will never have to wonder their worth
Because unlike you, I'm gonna put them first
And you know
I'll never walk away, I'll never break their hearts
I'll take care of things, when you leave scars
Piece by piece, I restored my faith
That a heart can still beat even when it breaks
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
I love when she sang I just walk away when they ask for money 🤯
Thank You for the lyrics
That a heart can still beat when it breaks 😭😭😭 The ability of this woman to put our shared, human emotions into words is unmatched

Love love this new version!!❤🎉 A woman's strength a man can NEVER truly meet!!
I love this version so much
we need the recorded version of this queen kelly clarkson 🥹
1000%. i also want her to release her cover song of ABCDEFU 😂
Absolutely!!!!!
@@malloryoates8580me too!!!!!
Amen to that! I love that she’s taken ownership back of this super important song in her catalogue and not just left it behind because it no longer reflects the reality of the circumstance.

Most definitely!
I love that she took back her power. This is HER song. She controls her narrative. Well done sweet Kelly. You are an amazing example. Bless you.
I actually love that she reworked this song to fit her circumstances than abandoning it altogether. ♥ Thank you for sharing.
Can you fill me in on the context of the change please?

"That a heart can still beat even when it breaks".... this gave me so many chills. Such simple, but beautiful words.
SAME😍😍😍😍
That one got me and then she when she says I take care of things when you leave scars that was like a bitch slapped the good for nothing ex
Also I really think that quote would be great on Merch.
RIGHT I OAUSSD AND JUST KEPT SAY OH. OH SHIT. OH.
I didn’t think we’d ever hear her perform this again. I bet it was hard for her even with the new lyric changes. Bless your heart Miss Kelly ❤ love it!

Petition to have this version released. Amazing.
I gotta say, the original had me almost in tears. But now, this reworked masterpiece actually gave me tears in the eyes. WOW! Absolutely beautiful
Love this so much! I think we as fans thought she would never perform this song again, but she took it back and made it empowering
Kelly Clarkson-the most amazing singer and songwriter! She is fantastic and so strong, i truly admire her. Please record this!
I love you so much Kelly

more perfection from Kelly
i cant stop watching this😢😭
Reworking the magic of her words to fit her life as it evolves is so beautiful!

11 years ago it’s amazing
i prefer this version!
Beautiful changes to the song. Strength and Blessings to you. 😊❤
This song, no matter what version hits her so deep. She also struggled with this version. I just love her so much
Please make this new version available so inspiring. God Bless
