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 talkin' to you
Gonna make you break out of your 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

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 once do you think that they
Would lie when they're holdin' you
Then you wonder why they haven't called
When they said they'd call you

You'll start to wonder if you're
Ever gonna make it by
You'll start to think you were born blind

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

I'm here for the hard times
The straight to your heart times
When livin' 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
They'll do their best to change you
They still can't erase you

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

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
On me
