Played this song for my stepdad years ago and he recently passed away. This will always play in my heart for him. He showed what a fathers love should be, always. Thank you Richard Traxler.
I’m gonna sing this to my adopted mom on Mother’s Day..she raised me as her own when my real “mom” left me for drugs and men..this incredible women showed me what’s it like to have a mom and what a mother’s love should feel like..
I hope it goes very well.... This song explains my Father and My amazing step Father Who treat's me with the love that a young traumatized daughter deserves.. I hope it went very well my prayers are for you and this hard time with covid-19 I'm glad your mother cares for you have a wonderful day 💕
I'm happy that you have a Mother figure in you're life that loves you and shows you how a mother is suppose to love her child and children. God Bless you and you're mother. May this world bring you all the happiness that you deserve.
I love Kelly and she did NOT deserve it... her father was crazy to leave a sweet girl like her. I’m only 9 but I know that a fathers or mothers love should last forever and ever. She’s a great woman and beautiful also. Her story in courages me to write songs ( I’ve written 3 to 4 ) and to become a singer. My dads band was Silver Travis a country and old style rock and was awesome! My dad is Rick Cash! I’m so thankful that Kelly had strength to write this song!
Omg! Your only 9? Wow!!! I love Kelly Clarkson! You just keep doing what you do best! I’m rooting for you. Be a good girl to your parents okay! I’m almost 37 and I only have a mother left cause my dad died when I was just a kid! He died in a truck accident
My hearts song to jesus, he restored my faith in a good father. After my dad didnt show up to any birthdays graduations college certifications or my wedding... I realized God was always there always a good father.
@@cheryssewalker9178 And that doesn’t mean you get to be a dick about his or her feelings. It doesn’t make it any easier for the children who are orphaned or adopted.
@@chantig.2189 exactly. I've done the dna and ancestry, and no one in my family I've found (bio) even knew I existed, like i was a "dirty little secret" well screw them then..I have family...people who are family by CHOICE. I am loved. Blood isn't everything.
My family is like that, as soon as I finally made something of myself they want me to come back. It was/still is abusive it’s hard to go back because every family event it’s like you get this feeling of trapped
That’s so sad about your family when I first heard this my sister introduced this song to me and I was internally crying for Kelly and she doesn’t deserve to be left like that😢
I cry while listening to this because of my mom who was also abandoned. She was a daughter from an extra marital affair, and her father’s friend raised her as his own. My mother grew up to be gentle and kind, forgiving and generous, and I am so proud of her being my mother. How strong of her to grow up kind-totally different from a world which abandoned her. Thanks also to my grandfather who raised my mother. Im proud of them both ❤️
This song reminds me of my adopted father my true father. He has passed now but I listen to this every once in a while to let him know I still love appreciate and think of him always. Thank you kelly for writing a song that speaks to me on sooo many levels.
Wow..i love this comment...goes to show that we don't always follow in our parents footsteps....and 8 kids! That's amazing. I'm glad u found the love in and for ur 8 children that u shud have found in ur own mother. This has made me have hope that anyone can love an be loved...no matter how broken u feel or ware u have come from or been in life. There is always a silver lining. Thank u so much for sharing ur comment on here for people like me and others to read an relate to. U sound like a very strong woman to me. Much loves an take care xx
You need to love yourself enough to pick yourself up off the ground, it's only when you are standing on your feet can the special one spot you in the crowd!
This song brings me to tears everytime.. my father didn't abandon me but he had no desire to be apart of my life until I was 20 years old. We lived under the same roof and he had no desire to be a father to his daughter(s) now he has found his way and I cannot imagine being without my father ever again.
My father left my brother and my mom when I was seven years old and my brother was eight. My parents often fought at night and it was so hard to sleep and get up for school. He’d run after my Mom with a pillow and I didn’t know why, as my brother and I tried to hold him back. I went into my Mom’s room one morning and half of the closet was completely empty. I knew he was gone. We never saw him again. As I grew up, I had so many unsounded fears of my boyfriends cheating on me and leaving me. I drove so many of them away…but one stayed, we’ve been married for 23 years. One day a distant relative called me to say that my father was in the Veterans Hospital after a bad stroke. If I wanted to see him ever again, I had to go soon. My friends said he never cared, so why should I? So many thoughts in my head, but I went in anyway to see him. He could no longer speak, so I talked to him about my life, my career, my husband. I was 40 years old. I kept visiting him until he finally passed one night. In my heart, I felt that everyone should have forgiveness and atonement before they leave this world. God can forgive and I should too.
😭😭😭I am so sorry for the pain you went through 😭. The sad part of it, you found him when he couldn't talk😭. Thank you for being so caring and loving. God bless you 🙏
My dad walked away when I was 12. I never felt worth anything to him. My mom never dated after the divorce. It is God who has picked me up piece by piece. So many pieces. I am 58 now and finally feel whole. Thank you Jesus
Hi I wanna tell you Jesus Loves You So Much He Gave His Life for our sins so we can be forgiven from our sin and Go To Heaven! Gods Love For Us Is Unconditonal I respect your beleifs!
Absolutely beautiful, I has same situation and I found God at age 21 and he is my savior my father! My dad then drove drunk and died on my 16 birthday, and now today's his birthday, and here I am crying my heart out. I'm angry I'm sad I'm hurt. His alcoholism killed him and my mum. I'm feeling alone today. Very. I'm going to pray. Funny tho thus us the first sing I played today
I am 63 years old, and my dad left my mom with 4 children never to return. I remember that day, sadly seared into my memory. But Jesus Christ came for me when I was 19 years old and saved my soul...literally! I would not have survived this world without His intervention. "Piece by piece God's collecting me up off the ground where you abandoned me, and piece by piece HE fills the holes that you burned in me at six years old and you know piece by piece God restores my faith, not to look to man but my Fathers grace............ Psalm 27:10 "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up."
I WILL BE WITH YOU Today's Scripture No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5 NKJV Daily Truth For at least 40 years, Joshua looked to Moses as the great problem solver for the people of Israel. He had seen the miracles performed and heard God’s Word spoken through Moses. But Moses was dead, and now Joshua needed the same power to solve problems. Joshua’s time had come, and sooner or later, your time will come as well. God will direct you to lead something for His purpose. When that time comes, the only way you’ll succeed is if you engage with God and hear what He has to say to you. God will move you out of every comfort zone and into what I call “the God Zone” where you hear His voice. Joshua is in the God Zone, and the Lord opens the conversation with this promise: “As I was with Moses, so shall I be with you.” God was telling Joshua the same thing He told Moses from the burning bush: “I AM the source of your power. I AM the One who parts the waters. I AM the One who rained manna on you in the wilderness. And I AM the same yesterday, today and forever.” He had been with Moses. He was with Joshua. And the same God is with you now! Today's Blessing Father, bless them and keep them. Make Your face shine upon them and let the promise of Your Word come alive in their lives. Let them abandon fear and forsake worry and place their trust in the God who has never failed, that the enemies that stand before them are defeated before their very eyes. Therefore, we, the redeemed of the Lord, celebrate what Christ has done and declare victory on behalf of what He will do. In Jesus’ name, we receive this blessing.
It's so sad to read all these comments here I want to hug everyone had a tragic story I can relate with this song ... I know very well what that feels 🙂
I cry every time I hear this song. As far as i know Kelly Clarkson wrote this song referring to her step father when she says " and he restored the hole that you burned in me at six years old" and i can completely relate in a different way. My biological father left when i was six years old when my mama got a divorce because he became abusive. She got with my step dad shortly after, and he and i have a very poor relationship. There is a lot of verbal and mental abuse. It led me down a road of insecurity, depression, and lack of self worth. One night, while attempting suicide, God gave me an out of body experience and showed me heaven's gates,saying " no my daughter, i still have a plan for you". He is the one who put me back together, filled that empty whole in my heart, is the father ive always longed for to be in my life, and quit literally saved my life! He is so amazing and i could never ask for anything else!!💕❤️
"The song starts with a woman's recollection of her father abandoning his family; by the chorus, she finds a new man in her life, whom she describes as someone who, "piece by piece", had restored her "faith that a man can be kind and a father could stay"." It's about how her husband (now ex) restored her faith in men.
@@missyblack8005 Didn't this become an incredibly tragic song in retrospect because she had a messy breakup and her ex tried to get a big chunk of her money in the divorce?
I can tell you from experience.. sometimes them leaving is better than them staying. Being abused physically, mentally and sexually as a young child is not the love I wanted..
It sucks I went threw it for 7 years (5 years old to 12 years old) and my mom is with a new guy and all he wants to do is take care of us and honestly trust is so hard but I feel so relieved when I sing this and sit and think I’m finally saved and have someone to love me the way I should.
This song definitely hits home. I was 16 when my dad disowned me for getting pregnant with my daughter, she’s biracial and we didn’t speak for over 2 years. Things will never be the same with him ever again. Fast forward, my husband swooped into our lives..he adopted my daughter and loves her with his everything. When I hear this song, I think of my amazing husband.
I tear up to this. My parents got divorced when I was six and after over a decade at the age for a freshman, I opened my eyes how unloved I truly felt over my bio father. Now at the age of 24, my mom found a man who treats her beyond better than my own dad and gave me the love of what a father should give to their own child. Childish as it sounds for an adult crying over this but this song definitely describes how I feel to both my bio and future step dad.
@@anttipula-aho1159For one, don't give out your email address. There are weirdos who could send disgusting things to you. Second, I don't know how to feel about talking to a stranger. A part of me wants to help but another part of me wants to avoid strangers.
This song reminds me of my dad he left when I was really young like 1 or 2 and I’m now 13 we were in touch for a while then he got a gf and left me and my brother behind and now treats her kids like his kids and has blocked me and my brother on everything so we have no contact with him and it just sucks because my mom has been in and out of abusive relationships my mom was in a abusive relationship with someone for 10 years and he abused me my mom and my brother and now my dad is like really good friends with him so that’s really shitty but it ok that’s his chose but the point is I’ve never really had a father figure and this song just make me cry every time I hear it
your dad will one day regret not getting to know you trust me on that JUST REMEMBER keep your head up nobody can make you feel inferior because your not. keep smiling things will get better and i know how you feel my dad left when i was 5
Im so sorry you and your family went through this. I wish you, your mom and your brother so much healing and happiness. Know that you are worthy of love and always surround yourself with people who truly love you, and let go of the ones who don't, they do not deserve you.
He is indirectly teaching you to love yourself. His soul never deserved to guardian yours. He was meant to show you what NOT to be and do. I am so sorry honey and I understand what you are going through from my own childhood. Holding you in my prayers, may you break free and know love/truth in this lifetime 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🔥
This song just kills me. Fathers and mothers should read every word and listen carefully. You don't have to "physically" leave to "leave" a child wondering why you don't love them. It is just heartbreaking and not something they can overcome easily.
I relate to this song Cause my birth father left me when I was only 2 or 3 years old. BTW I love this song. I am 13 now and I don't care about him any more my new dad is way more amazing than my birth dad
im glad you like at least one of them. my dad left me when I was 5 I think and Ive had a step dad for a few years over 5 but I dont like him. we dont get along a lot I kinda keep to myself and dont talk to anyone in my family so I guess im kinda alone
This is really hard to admit. My dad was an over the road truck driver, but he told my mom he would rather drive a big rig then raise kids. I heard him say this at 5 years old. I was never close to my dad, still resent him, i love him but not as much as my mom. She was so strong raising me and my brother. Then I got pregnant and did it all myself for 3 years, then I finally met my husband he was everything that I'd ever dreamed myself finding as my husband he loves me and my daughter more than anything. When we got married I sang this song, for him to know how much he had done picking up my pieces to put back together, hes raising izzy like his own. I thank god every day for blessing me the way he did.
"But your love it isn't free" I so relate to that with my parents They love me conditionally and as much as I've tried to make peace with it I never fully can
That feeling when you see him leaving, not knowing when he will come back. And day by day, you wait for him, thinking about him every second, only to find out that he's found a new family and moved on, leaving you behind.
😢 this song makes me cry every time reminds me of my ex husband abandoning the love and care for me and my daughter's and now I have a man willing to love and care for both my girls and this is definitely both a heartwarming and heartbreaking song. ❤
This song cuts me very deep and I cry whenever listening, bcos it’s just like the life in the lyrics, my ex husband left me alone to take care of our child and the struggles hasn’t be easy on me alone,I wish he could have be a man enough to take care of his child but my child’s love for me gives me strength never to give up on him🥰❤️
I cry every time I hear this song because...my dad doesnt care but I have the best stepdad in the world I wouldn't ask for anyone else in the world I'm happy that my stepdad picked me up off the ground when my dad just stood there and didn't care about he let it happen and did nothing about it while my stepdad cares even if I scrape my knee or something small he cries when I cry and I'm so thankful this song has inspired me to write songs of my own even though I'm only ten but I know what it's like to have a dad that doesnt care hugs and kisses to everyone who is reading this and have an amazing dad and dont forget everything happens for a reason and u are loved😘😘💗💖💕💓❤💘💛💚💙🧡💜
Song reminds me of my mom who left when I was 8. Thankfully I had a awesome dad who did his best to raise me alone. Piece by piece that man picked me back up and is my rock
This song truly has hit me as a mother. I cry an sing it to my son (I'm a single mom) my ex bf walked out on my son an I this past year (not bio dad but on my sons BIrth certificate) I was S/A an it how I got my son..(yes my ex was aware as we got together when I was 2 months pregnant) but one thing my son will never say is I walked away... An before yall ask yes I did plan to have a abortion due to the circumstances... but the second I heard his heart beat I didn't have the heart to, I wanted my son.. that experience of the overwhelming feeling of the life inside an bond I felt I just couldnt.. he needed me just as much as I needed him.. I know I didn't have to share this.. but here it is.
My dad chose his wife and my half brother over me and my two siblings. My husband...that man is the one healing my heart. He loves me even when I probably don't deserve it and shows me how a father should love his daughter with our beautiful girl. He is amazing and I appreciate every little thing he does for me and our children.
I missed my father, always cry when I listen this song, he is the one who is always beside me when I am tired of all my problems, he is my life's encouragement, especially when I am really down with the death of my husband, now I only cry for the two greatest men in my life who have left me 🥲🥲🥲...RIP
I cry every time I heard this song by KELLY CLARKSON....SHE sang this song Piece by Piece PERFECTLY!!!!This song reminds me if my dad who passed away...a couple yrs back ....For a long time I was n denial&was depressed!&Didn't believed he passed....&For a long time I blamed myself for his death.🎵🎼♥️🤟💯I 💘 DO LOVE THIS SONG....!!!!IVE had KELLYS CD'S for a wile now!&even grew up on her music..... Knew all the lyrics to her songs....🎵🎵🎵🎵🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼♥️♥️👂💘💘💘💘🔥♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️☘️.
This song reminds me of my daughter and my husband who adopted her. Her dad met her at 6 years old and we haven't heard from him since. So this really hits home for me
I just adore Kelly Clarkson her songs are amazing and beautiful just like the woman she is. I listen to all her songs and love and can relate to everyone of hers. Your amazing Kelly Clarkson
Im not an emotional person but I cry when I hear this, my father abandoned me when I was young, it was my dad who stepped up and showed me I should trust again.❤️
My life is impacted by this song immensely as a child of divorce. It's a hard journey but it does get better! Fathers aren't always the best but theres always a better man to fit the spot.
Hell with the thumbs down, they are all nuts. Thanks Kelly for bringing so many people's hurt to light. Love this song and wish my now grown son could give this to his father, maybe then he could find a way like you did, to put the past behind him.
Whenever I listen to this song I appreciate my parents more .I lost my biological parent still young but my uncle (dad's bro)took care of me as there own never lacked either mother's love nor father's .
I cry so much when i hear this song bc i can relate so much my dad has always been in and out of my life for the past 32 years ... I never thought i would ever be able to trust a man until i met my husband ... After 11 years of marriage he shows me what a real man looks like everyday ...
Every time I hear this song it breaks my heart over and over again. I never thought that I would cry with a song that I already cried years ago. This always reminds me of how evil and heartless my dad is. I will never forgive you. Never.
This reminds me a bit of my father. While he never physically abused me or my mother, he was always emotionally absent from much of the family and has been this way for as long as I can recall. He seldom gave me compliments growing up, whether it was calling me “pretty” or validating a success I had done, and the only times he would acknowledge me after going days without speaking to me was if he had to reprimand me for something I did wrong. He has lived in the same household as me, yet we rarely interact and it almost feels as though he is never truly there. Throughout my adolescence, the time I needed him the most, he repeatedly took jobs out of state and left the family for many years when I was 14, despite still being technically married to my mother. When I fell into a deep depression in my early 20s and was overweight at the time, he wasn’t much help to me but merely made cold, offhand remarks about my appearance and the way I looked. I don’t have much of a support system from my relatives either, as his side of the family is also emotionally distant from me, never acknowledging anyone even during a special occasion such as a holiday. It’s strange how some fathers tend to be toward their own daughters, and the fact that some men just aren’t equipped to give or receive love and don’t understand the concept of what it means to have a family. I hope God manages to heal me with time however and that I can one day find forgiveness in my heart toward him for all the pain he has caused me. I do hope there are still good men out there in the world who do care for their women and seek what is best for them, but life has left me with many scars admittedly that will take time to heal. Only time will tell.
This made me cry so unbelievable much, my father left me and my two sisters when I was five. My mom remarried shortly after and I so grateful I had my step dad right by side forever and ways I love you so much kevin/Papa
Saddest thing is I found this beautiful song one day and wanted to show it to my partner who had become a father figure to my special needs son and after five years of us being together, he left us a few days after that. I had no clue he was planning on leaving me because we had no problems ( he never told me how he felt). I just found a letter one day on my pillow. I now look back thinking how could he have listened to this song knowing he was going to abandon me and my son who he was so close to? Absolutely horrible, cowardly and so cold. I mainly feel bad for my son.
Wow, just heard this first time with Kelsie Dolin's audition. Two people in my mind as I hear this, the one who walked and the one who was kind and stayed and was great... Beautiful song
My heart breaks for my children everytime I hear this song. I am done being angry for myself. They are 25 and 19 now and I'm still picking them up from his damage. I will always be their landing spot. Can't change people. Wouldn't have them without him ❤. Just keep swimming. Baby steps.
this is what i’m gonna play at my wedding for the daddy daughter dance with my dad. he adopted me last year life has been pretty hard bc or my biological father. but he’s made it so much better. i’m so glad to have him❤️
My birth father left me when I was 1 year old. My stepfather has always been there for me. and now his health is not great and i dont have much time left with him. This song makes me cry.
You can see in this song how a parent rejecting you effects you In Kelly's case she's so successful and as she said she got worth from her career (thnk goodness not drugs or drinking like so many as coping) now she gets it from 100 pure ....her children!
this song is so amazing my relationship with my father has always been toxic due to his uses of drugs and alcohol and now I have the most amazing husband who has chosen to love and raise my niece with me and he's an amazing father to her and we are so blessed to have him ❤
I cry whenever I listen to this song. My twin nephews have never met their father. He just pretends like they don't even exist .... My heart breaks for them❤💔💔
You know your struggling when you get a tear in you eyes reading cards from years ago when you were the lowest in your life and listening to this song that normally you don't tear up to. Life gets better never forget the ones who love you when your down the most they've possibly been through similar and will know how to help even if it's a shoulder to cry on
I swear I cant listen to this song with out crying. I dedicate this song to my dad. Im so blessed my husband is so good with our daughter he loves her so much. I will never understand how someone can bring a child into this world and abuse them I just dont get it.
Literally love this song! my dads always been in and out of my life, yet my grandad has always been there 💙 I now have my own little girl and what a blessing she is! why ‘parents’ walk in and out of children’s lives baffles me! I always have and always will appreciate my grandad for doing the things my dad should of done 👌
My bio parents abandon me as a baby. Left me with my grandparents. Bio parent's parents divorced and left them. My grandparent's parents also divorced and left them. I will break the generational curse that my family has. Piece by piece, I will learn to be a better mother and parent than they were. My husband has shown me strength in love and kindness, I know we can do it. We won't be them
Played this song for my stepdad years ago and he recently passed away. This will always play in my heart for him. He showed what a fathers love should be, always. Thank you Richard Traxler.
I had exactly the same 💜 Step dads are the best

I love Kelly and she did NOT deserve it... her father was crazy to leave a sweet girl like her. I’m only 9 but I know that a fathers or mothers love should last forever and ever. She’s a great woman and beautiful also. Her story in courages me to write songs ( I’ve written 3 to 4 ) and to become a singer. My dads band was Silver Travis a country and old style rock and was awesome! My dad is Rick Cash! I’m so thankful that Kelly had strength to write this song!
“All kids deserve parents, but not all parents deserve kids.”
You are doing so good for only being 9! Even at 16 I still haven’t pursued my want to be in the music industry. Don’t give up hun x
Same I went through what she went through
Wow.. nine years old. Rick cash & your mama raised you right!! Keep shining baby❤️❤️
Omg! Your only 9? Wow!!! I love Kelly Clarkson! You just keep doing what you do best! I’m rooting for you. Be a good girl to your parents okay! I’m almost 37 and I only have a mother left cause my dad died when I was just a kid! He died in a truck accident
Im not crying. My eyes are just sweating
Same with me😭🤣
you sure bout that
Of course they're sweating, what is this crying word? What does it mean?
I know right
lol. Me too!
My hearts song to jesus, he restored my faith in a good father. After my dad didnt show up to any birthdays graduations college certifications or my wedding... I realized God was always there always a good father.

‘I made something for myself and now you wanna come back’ hit too hard
My family is like that, as soon as I finally made something of myself they want me to come back. It was/still is abusive it’s hard to go back because every family event it’s like you get this feeling of trapped
That’s so sad about your family when I first heard this my sister introduced this song to me and I was internally crying for Kelly and she doesn’t deserve to be left like that😢
I cry while listening to this because of my mom who was also abandoned. She was a daughter from an extra marital affair, and her father’s friend raised her as his own.

don"t worry gods always with you
Keep your head up ❤
i get you pain just know to love yourself xx
The first time I heard this on the radio, my mom started crying. I asked her, "Mom, why are you crying?" She told me: "One day, you'll understand."
Hug her extra hard for me.💖 Remind her she is a strong woman and is loved❤️
😭😭😭😭😭😭
How she could sing this without cracking and crying is magical I could never
You need to watch her sing this on American Idol. She cracks.
But now the ex husband tried to get her money
if you listen closely you can hear that she is just softly
Watch it live 💔 she was heavily pregnant I lost it I was just left with a newborn she's now nearly 4 done it all on my own
@@samanthahill1814 Very well done on pulling through that ^^

My father left my brother and my mom when I was seven years old and my brother was eight. My parents often fought at night and it was so hard to sleep and get up for school. He’d run after my Mom with a pillow and I didn’t know why, as my brother and I tried to hold him back. I went into my Mom’s room one morning and half of the closet was completely empty. I knew he was gone. We never saw him again. As I grew up, I had so many unsounded fears of my boyfriends cheating on me and leaving me. I drove so many of them away…but one stayed, we’ve been married for 23 years. One day a distant relative called me to say that my father was in the Veterans Hospital after a bad stroke. If I wanted to see him ever again, I had to go soon. My friends said he never cared, so why should I? So many thoughts in my head, but I went in anyway to see him. He could no longer speak, so I talked to him about my life, my career, my husband. I was 40 years old. I kept visiting him until he finally passed one night. In my heart, I felt that everyone should have forgiveness and atonement before they leave this world. God can forgive and I should too.
😭😭😭I am so sorry for the pain you went through 😭. The sad part of it, you found him when he couldn't talk😭. Thank you for being so caring and loving. God bless you 🙏
Sounds like he had PTSD.
You are a beautiful precious soul and a gift to everyone in your life 🦋💫💙
@@kellyal2 yes indeed
My dad walked away when I was 12. I never felt worth anything to him.
My mom never dated after the divorce. It is God who has picked me up piece by piece. So many pieces. I am 58 now and finally feel whole. Thank you Jesus
Hi I wanna tell you Jesus Loves You So Much He Gave His Life for our sins so we can be forgiven from our sin and Go To Heaven! Gods Love For Us Is Unconditonal I respect your beleifs!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely beautiful, I has same situation and I found God at age 21 and he is my savior my father! My dad then drove drunk and died on my 16 birthday, and now today's his birthday, and here I am crying my heart out. I'm angry I'm sad I'm hurt. His alcoholism killed him and my mum. I'm feeling alone today. Very. I'm going to pray. Funny tho thus us the first sing I played today
I am 63 years old, and my dad left my mom with 4 children never to return. I remember that day, sadly seared into my memory.
But Jesus Christ came for me when I was 19 years old and saved my soul...literally! I would not have survived this world without His intervention.
"Piece by piece
God's collecting me
up off the ground where you abandoned me,
and piece by piece
HE fills the holes
that you burned in me at six years old
and you know
piece by piece
God restores my faith, not to look to man
but my Fathers grace............ Psalm 27:10 "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up."
I WILL BE WITH YOU
Today's Scripture
No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.
Joshua 1:5 NKJV
Daily Truth
For at least 40 years, Joshua looked to Moses as the great problem solver for the people of Israel. He had seen the miracles performed and heard God’s Word spoken through Moses. But Moses was dead, and now Joshua needed the same power to solve problems. Joshua’s time had come, and sooner or later, your time will come as well. God will direct you to lead something for His purpose. When that time comes, the only way you’ll succeed is if you engage with God and hear what He has to say to you. God will move you out of every comfort zone and into what I call “the God Zone” where you hear His voice.
Joshua is in the God Zone, and the Lord opens the conversation with this promise: “As I was with Moses, so shall I be with you.” God was telling Joshua the same thing He told Moses from the burning bush: “I AM the source of your power. I AM the One who parts the waters. I AM the One who rained manna on you in the wilderness. And I AM the same yesterday, today and forever.” He had been with Moses. He was with Joshua. And the same God is with you now!
Today's Blessing
Father, bless them and keep them. Make Your face shine upon them and let the promise of Your Word come alive in their lives. Let them abandon fear and forsake worry and place their trust in the God who has never failed, that the enemies that stand before them are defeated before their very eyes. Therefore, we, the redeemed of the Lord, celebrate what Christ has done and declare victory on behalf of what He will do. In Jesus’ name, we receive this blessing.
It's so sad to read all these comments here I want to hug everyone had a tragic story I can relate with this song ... I know very well what that feels 🙂
Youssef-jos7 AMVs, Yup
Come hug me buddy. We got the same story. 😢
God bless you!
I can relate to this song to but for mom not dad my dad died when I was 2 so yeah🙏يوسف احمد حامد
You can hug me this is why I don't like celebrating Father's Day I hate it
I cry every time I hear this song. As far as i know Kelly Clarkson wrote this song referring to her step father when she says " and he restored the hole that you burned in me at six years old" and i can completely relate in a different way. My biological father left when i was six years old when my mama got a divorce because he became abusive. She got with my step dad shortly after, and he and i have a very poor relationship. There is a lot of verbal and mental abuse. It led me down a road of insecurity, depression, and lack of self worth. One night, while attempting suicide, God gave me an out of body experience and showed me heaven's gates,saying " no my daughter, i still have a plan for you". He is the one who put me back together, filled that empty whole in my heart, is the father ive always longed for to be in my life, and quit literally saved my life! He is so amazing and i could never ask for anything else!!💕❤️
AMEN
Amen 🙏
"The song starts with a woman's recollection of her father abandoning his family; by the chorus, she finds a new man in her life, whom she describes as someone who, "piece by piece", had restored her "faith that a man can be kind and a father could stay"." It's about how her husband (now ex) restored her faith in men.
@@missyblack8005 Didn't this become an incredibly tragic song in retrospect because she had a messy breakup and her ex tried to get a big chunk of her money in the divorce?
It’s a very personal song for Kelly and I can’t imagine how it feels for her to perform this now.
I wanna sing this to my mom cause she's been there for me everyday of my life and I'm so thankful
I can tell you from experience.. sometimes them leaving is better than them staying. Being abused physically, mentally and sexually as a young child is not the love I wanted..
Wow, you’re so strong for getting through it all ❤️
It still hurts my father left. 😔
trust me when I say I can relate to this comment more than you know. Im so sorry for what you had to go through.
This is soo true. 💯💯
It sucks I went threw it for 7 years (5 years old to 12 years old) and my mom is with a new guy and all he wants to do is take care of us and honestly trust is so hard but I feel so relieved when I sing this and sit and think I’m finally saved and have someone to love me the way I should.
This song definitely hits home. I was 16 when my dad disowned me for getting pregnant with my daughter, she’s biracial and we didn’t speak for over 2 years. Things will never be the same with him ever again. Fast forward, my husband swooped into our lives..he adopted my daughter and loves her with his everything. When I hear this song, I think of my amazing husband.
He did the right thing
You committed racial treason
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I tear up to this. My parents got divorced when I was six and after over a decade at the age for a freshman, I opened my eyes how unloved I truly felt over my bio father. Now at the age of 24, my mom found a man who treats her beyond better than my own dad and gave me the love of what a father should give to their own child. Childish as it sounds for an adult crying over this but this song definitely describes how I feel to both my bio and future step dad.
@@anttipula-aho1159For one, don't give out your email address. There are weirdos who could send disgusting things to you. Second, I don't know how to feel about talking to a stranger. A part of me wants to help but another part of me wants to avoid strangers.
@@laylahawkins4873 Thank you for your honest answer. And for sharing your story , at least it gives hope . Good luck to you
This song reminds me of my dad he left when I was really young like 1 or 2 and I’m now 13 we were in touch for a while then he got a gf and left me and my brother behind and now treats her kids like his kids and has blocked me and my brother on everything so we have no contact with him and it just sucks because my mom has been in and out of abusive relationships my mom was in a abusive relationship with someone for 10 years and he abused me my mom and my brother and now my dad is like really good friends with him so that’s really shitty but it ok that’s his chose but the point is I’ve never really had a father figure and this song just make me cry every time I hear it
your dad will one day regret not getting to know you trust me on that JUST REMEMBER keep your head up nobody can make you feel inferior because your not. keep smiling things will get better
and i know how you feel my dad left when i was 5
Im so sorry you and your family went through this. I wish you, your mom and your brother so much healing and happiness. Know that you are worthy of love and always surround yourself with people who truly love you, and let go of the ones who don't, they do not deserve you.
He is indirectly teaching you to love yourself.
His soul never deserved to guardian yours.
He was meant to show you what NOT to be and do.
I am so sorry honey and I understand what you are going through from my own childhood. Holding you in my prayers, may you break free and know love/truth in this lifetime 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🔥
This song just kills me. Fathers and mothers should read every word and listen carefully. You don't have to "physically" leave to "leave" a child wondering why you don't love them. It is just heartbreaking and not something they can overcome easily.
It’s so sad to think about how many people relate to this song or close to relate to it
I relate to this song Cause my birth father left me when I was only 2 or 3 years old. BTW I love this song. I am 13 now and I don't care about him any more my new dad is way more amazing than my birth dad
Amen!! I hate my birth dad.
I’m sorry for you but I’m happy for you my birth dad died when I was two now I’m 11 about to be 12
Am soo sorry
im glad you like at least one of them.
my dad left me when I was 5 I think and Ive had a step dad for a few years over 5 but I dont like him. we dont get along a lot I kinda keep to myself and dont talk to anyone in my family so I guess im kinda alone
Agreed. I hate my birth dad also
I tear up every time! 😢
Nienie R Same i didn't have dad
@@nathalylizarraga4389 sorry to hear that :(
This is really hard to admit. My dad was an over the road truck driver, but he told my mom he would rather drive a big rig then raise kids. I heard him say this at 5 years old. I was never close to my dad, still resent him, i love him but not as much as my mom. She was so strong raising me and my brother. Then I got pregnant and did it all myself for 3 years, then I finally met my husband he was everything that I'd ever dreamed myself finding as my husband he loves me and my daughter more than anything. When we got married I sang this song, for him to know how much he had done picking up my pieces to put back together, hes raising izzy like his own. I thank god every day for blessing me the way he did.
"But your love it isn't free" I so relate to that with my parents
They love me conditionally and as much as I've tried to make peace with it I never fully can
That feeling when you see him leaving, not knowing when he will come back. And day by day, you wait for him, thinking about him every second, only to find out that he's found a new family and moved on, leaving you behind.
I'm so sorry....
why....why am i crying???😢😭...my numb heart start beating💓
😢 this song makes me cry every time reminds me of my ex husband abandoning the love and care for me and my daughter's and now I have a man willing to love and care for both my girls and this is definitely both a heartwarming and heartbreaking song. ❤
I agree same story
This song cuts me very deep and I cry whenever listening, bcos it’s just like the life in the lyrics, my ex husband left me alone to take care of our child and the struggles hasn’t be easy on me alone,I wish he could have be a man enough to take care of his child but my child’s love for me gives me strength never to give up on him🥰❤️
i cry all the time when i listen to this bc it just gives you the crying vibes and it remides me of my dad.
This song makes me love my daughter even more. A father can be great.
I cry every time I hear this song because...my dad doesnt care but I have the best stepdad in the world I wouldn't ask for anyone else in the world I'm happy that my stepdad picked me up off the ground when my dad just stood there and didn't care about he let it happen and did nothing about it while my stepdad cares even if I scrape my knee or something small he cries when I cry and I'm so thankful this song has inspired me to write songs of my own even though I'm only ten but I know what it's like to have a dad that doesnt care hugs and kisses to everyone who is reading this and have an amazing dad and dont forget everything happens for a reason and u are loved😘😘💗💖💕💓❤💘💛💚💙🧡💜
Song reminds me of my mom who left when I was 8. Thankfully I had a awesome dad who did his best to raise me alone. Piece by piece that man picked me back up and is my rock
Just now hearing this song for the first time. Beautiful. My dad is a prime example of a great dad.
This song is amazing. She definitely didn’t deserve it. She’s amazing for going thought that and becoming the amazing person she is today.
This song truly has hit me as a mother. I cry an sing it to my son (I'm a single mom) my ex bf walked out on my son an I this past year (not bio dad but on my sons BIrth certificate) I was S/A an it how I got my son..(yes my ex was aware as we got together when I was 2 months pregnant) but one thing my son will never say is I walked away...
An before yall ask yes I did plan to have a abortion due to the circumstances... but the second I heard his heart beat I didn't have the heart to, I wanted my son.. that experience of the overwhelming feeling of the life inside an bond I felt I just couldnt.. he needed me just as much as I needed him.. I know I didn't have to share this.. but here it is.
I cry every time I listen to song because my daddy left me at 5 years old and I know how it feels to feel worthless and unloved. I love you Kelly!
My dad chose his wife and my half brother over me and my two siblings. My husband...that man is the one healing my heart. He loves me even when I probably don't deserve it and shows me how a father should love his daughter with our beautiful girl. He is amazing and I appreciate every little thing he does for me and our children.
I missed my father, always cry when I listen this song, he is the one who is always beside me when I am tired of all my problems, he is my life's encouragement, especially when I am really down with the death of my husband, now I only cry for the two greatest men in my life who have left me 🥲🥲🥲...RIP
I was very lucky with the family upbringing that I had, but this song makes me cry everytime! 😢
This song is so beautiful and it still touches me everytime I listen to
You did a very good job on that song with the lyrics and the background and the timing that was awesome good job!
Thank you!
This song is for my mother. My step mother is my hero. She didnt give me life but life gave me her.
I cry every time I heard this song by KELLY CLARKSON....SHE sang this song Piece by Piece PERFECTLY!!!!This song reminds me if my dad who passed away...a couple yrs back ....For a long time I was n denial&was depressed!&Didn't believed he passed....&For a long time I blamed myself for his death.🎵🎼♥️🤟💯I 💘 DO LOVE THIS SONG....!!!!IVE had KELLYS CD'S for a wile now!&even grew up on her music.....

Ok so this is my absolutely favorite song I love Kelly Clarkson
I can relate to this song a lot. It hits me big time. I love Kelly Clarkson she is one of the most amazing people.
This song reminds me of my daughter and my husband who adopted her. Her dad met her at 6 years old and we haven't heard from him since. So this really hits home for me
I just adore Kelly Clarkson her songs are amazing and beautiful just like the woman she is. I listen to all her songs and love and can relate to everyone of hers. Your amazing Kelly Clarkson
WHO WANTS HER TO WRITE MORE OF THESE TYPE OF SONGS!❤️💕
WOW thanks for the likes🤗⭐️
Me
I’m singing to this grandma on Mother’s Day THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!
Love this song. Makes me tear up every time I listen to it and try to sing it. Touches my heart all too well. Great video too!
Angel Strand you know that tear makes you a strong girl your name is not just angel your a real angel
Im not an emotional person but I cry when I hear this, my father abandoned me when I was young, it was my dad who stepped up and showed me I should trust again.❤️
Same except I am very emotional to everything has happened to me
This song just relates , In so many ways, such a beautiful song
My life is impacted by this song immensely as a child of divorce. It's a hard journey but it does get better! Fathers aren't always the best but theres always a better man to fit the spot.
Hell with the thumbs down, they are all nuts. Thanks Kelly for bringing so many people's hurt to light. Love this song and wish my now grown son could give this to his father, maybe then he could find a way like you did, to put the past behind him.
I ugly cry for my daughter every time I hear this song ❤️
You are not ugly you are beautiful
Whenever I listen to this song I appreciate my parents more .I lost my biological parent still young but my uncle (dad's bro)took care of me as there own never lacked either mother's love nor father's .
My granddaughter father walked out of her life at 6 years old
Thank you Kelly for writing this healing 💕 song ....
I was hated by my own father and now all the love I got and feel comes from my stepfather ❤❤❤.......I love him 🥰🥰🥰
I cry so much when i hear this song bc i can relate so much my dad has always been in and out of my life for the past 32 years ... I never thought i would ever be able to trust a man until i met my husband ... After 11 years of marriage he shows me what a real man looks like everyday ...
I’m so thankful to have such an amazing dad
@Ellie Dalzell you're
@Ellie Dalzell *you’re*
Every time I hear this song it breaks my heart over and over again. I never thought that I would cry with a song that I already cried years ago.
This always reminds me of how evil and heartless my dad is. I will never forgive you. Never.
This reminds me a bit of my father. While he never physically abused me or my mother, he was always emotionally absent from much of the family and has been this way for as long as I can recall. He seldom gave me compliments growing up, whether it was calling me “pretty” or validating a success I had done, and the only times he would acknowledge me after going days without speaking to me was if he had to reprimand me for something I did wrong. He has lived in the same household as me, yet we rarely interact and it almost feels as though he is never truly there. Throughout my adolescence, the time I needed him the most, he repeatedly took jobs out of state and left the family for many years when I was 14, despite still being technically married to my mother. When I fell into a deep depression in my early 20s and was overweight at the time, he wasn’t much help to me but merely made cold, offhand remarks about my appearance and the way I looked. I don’t have much of a support system from my relatives either, as his side of the family is also emotionally distant from me, never acknowledging anyone even during a special occasion such as a holiday. It’s strange how some fathers tend to be toward their own daughters, and the fact that some men just aren’t equipped to give or receive love and don’t understand the concept of what it means to have a family. I hope God manages to heal me with time however and that I can one day find forgiveness in my heart toward him for all the pain he has caused me. I do hope there are still good men out there in the world who do care for their women and seek what is best for them, but life has left me with many scars admittedly that will take time to heal. Only time will tell.
I played this at work and accidently started tearing up, very relatable
This made me cry so unbelievable much, my father left me and my two sisters when I was five. My mom remarried shortly after and I so grateful I had my step dad right by side forever and ways I love you so much kevin/Papa
Saddest thing is I found this beautiful song one day and wanted to show it to my partner who had become a father figure to my special needs son and after five years of us being together, he left us a few days after that. I had no clue he was planning on leaving me because we had no problems ( he never told me how he felt). I just found a letter one day on my pillow. I now look back thinking how could he have listened to this song knowing he was going to abandon me and my son who he was so close to? Absolutely horrible, cowardly and so cold. I mainly feel bad for my son.
I'm so sorry dear:(
I'm so sorry dear
I love this song because it says everything I'm been feeling for the past few years
Piece by piece,God collected me.
THERE’S AlOT OF POWER IN THIS SONG!!!!! 🙏🏼🥺
Wow, just heard this first time with Kelsie Dolin's audition. Two people in my mind as I hear this, the one who walked and the one who was kind and stayed and was great... Beautiful song
My heart breaks for my children everytime I hear this song. I am done being angry for myself. They are 25 and 19 now and I'm still picking them up from his damage. I will always be their landing spot. Can't change people. Wouldn't have them without him ❤. Just keep swimming. Baby steps.
I love me some Kelly Clarkson. She's such a humble person. May the lord continue to bless her abundantly
Letting my emotions flow, this song hits me hard
She never deserved for her father to leave her.
this is what i’m gonna play at my wedding for the daddy daughter dance with my dad. he adopted me last year life has been pretty hard bc or my biological father. but he’s made it so much better. i’m so glad to have him❤️
My daughter showed this to her stepdad and he said ‘ thank you so much princess, your always my girl’ I smiled 💝☺️
My birth father left me when I was 1 year old. My stepfather has always been there for me. and now his health is not great and i dont have much time left with him. This song makes me cry.
I am single mother of three everytime I heard this song tears came, because I was pleasing love with a broken heart.
Be strong you can get through life 🖤
You can see in this song how a parent rejecting you effects you
In Kelly's case she's so successful and as she said she got worth from her career (thnk goodness not drugs or drinking like so many as coping) now she gets it from 100 pure ....her children!
I listen to this and sob. I feel the connection but also my heart breaks for you, you are beautiful Kelly. Inside & out and your voice is angelic.
this song is so amazing my relationship with my father has always been toxic due to his uses of drugs and alcohol and now I have the most amazing husband who has chosen to love and raise my niece with me and he's an amazing father to her and we are so blessed to have him ❤
I cry whenever I listen to this song. My twin nephews have never met their father. He just pretends like they don't even exist .... My heart breaks for them❤💔💔
It’s 2022 and this song still does and always will hit
You know your struggling when you get a tear in you eyes reading cards from years ago when you were the lowest in your life and listening to this song that normally you don't tear up to. Life gets better never forget the ones who love you when your down the most they've possibly been through similar and will know how to help even if it's a shoulder to cry on
This is beyond my favorite song!
I’m 49 years old. There is not a man on this planet who truly can make this song truthful beyond the love bombing stage.
I cry every time I hear this song ❤️. I was adopted and it makes me think why my mom/ dad walked out of my life.
Ive followed this beautiful inspiring women from a teenager, 31 and a mother and I'm still here.. 💖👌
This song has always made me emotional but it absolutely strikes me down now that I have a daughter who's father loves her endlessly
This is one of the songs that make me cry, every damn time I listen to it. 💙
I swear I cant listen to this song with out crying. I dedicate this song to my dad. Im so blessed my husband is so good with our daughter he loves her so much. I will never understand how someone can bring a child into this world and abuse them I just dont get it.
Literally love this song! my dads always been in and out of my life, yet my grandad has always been there 💙 I now have my own little girl and what a blessing she is! why ‘parents’ walk in and out of children’s lives baffles me! I always have and always will appreciate my grandad for doing the things my dad should of done 👌
cried the first time i heard it on American Idol and still cry every single time i hear it beautiful song
My bio parents abandon me as a baby. Left me with my grandparents. Bio parent's parents divorced and left them. My grandparent's parents also divorced and left them. I will break the generational curse that my family has. Piece by piece, I will learn to be a better mother and parent than they were. My husband has shown me strength in love and kindness, I know we can do it. We won't be them
