Hand Me Down Lyrics

Artist: Matchbox 20
Album: More Than You Think You Are

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 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 oughta 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 want you to think they would lie
When they're holding you
And you wonder why they haven't called
When they said they'd call you
And you start to wonder if you're ever going to make it by
You'll start to think you were born blind

[chorus]

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

Someday they'll open up your world
Shake you down to the drawing board
Do their best to change you
They still can't erase you

[chorus]

Lay them down on me
Oh yeah, you're just one more hand me down
And all those nights don't give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down on me
