The 33-year-old singer got very emotional when singing the song because it's about her own heartbreaking experience with her biological father.

AceShowbiz - Kelly Clarkson broke down in tears when singing her latest single "Piece by Piece" during her appearance in the Thursday, February 25 episode of "American Idol". The 33-year-old singer couldn't hold back her tears because every time she sang it, she remembered her bitter childhood memories.

The lyrics read, "And all I remember is your back, walking towards the airport leaving us all in your past. I traveled 1500 miles to see you. Begged you to want me, but you didn't want to." The lyrics of the song make it clear that the "Because of You" singer had so many sad experiences in the past, especially when her father left and abandoned her and her mother.

Kelly's parents Jeanne Ann and Stephen divorced when Kelly was only 6 years old. Following the split, she and her siblings lived separately. She stayed with her mom while her brother followed her dad and lived in California. Meanwhile, her sister stayed with her aunt in North Carolina. Kelly made no contact with her siblings until they reconnected before Kelly joined the singing contest back in 2002.

"And all of your words fall flat. I made something of myself and now you wanna come back. But your love isn't free, it has to be earned. Back then I didn't have anything you needed, so I was worthless," the other lyrics read. According to the lyrics, it seems like Stephen wanted to reconnect, but it's too late for Kelly.

However, Kelly has said that the song isn't an expression of anger. "It's a positive song, even though I know it sounds sad. I don't know what my father went through as a child, and I don't know why he left and made the decisions he made, but everyone's human," she explained.
