Matchbox Twenty - Hand Me Down lyrics

Someday they'll find your small town world on a big town avenue

Gonna make you like the way they talk when they're talking to you

Gonna make you break out of the shell cause they tell you to

Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth

They'll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say

They're gonna break your heart, yeah

[chorus]

From what I've seen

You're just a one more hand me down

Cause no one's tried to give you what you need

So lay all your troubles down

I am with you now

Somebody ought to take you in

Try to make you love again

Try to make you like the way they feel

When they're under your skin

Never once did think they'd lie when they're holding you

You wonder why they haven't called

When they said they'd call you

You start to wonder if you're ever gonna make it by

You'll start to think you were born blind

[chorus]

From what I've seen

You're just a one more hand me down

Cause no one's tried to give you what you need

So lay all your troubles down

I am with you now

I'm here for the hard times

The straight to your heart times

Whenever it ain't easy

You can stand up against me

And maybe rely on me

And cry on me, yeah

Oh no, no, no

Some day they'll open up your world

Shake it down on a drawing board

Do their best to change you

They still can't erase you

[chorus]

From what I've seen

You're just a one more hand me down

Cause no one's tried to give you what you need

So lay all your troubles down

I am with you now

Lay them down on me

Oh yeah

You're just one more hand me down

And all those nots don't give you what you need

So lay all your troubles down...on me
