Hand Me Down

Hand Me Down lyrics
Matchbox Twenty
Mora 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 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 they'd lie when they're holdin' 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

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

Some day they'll open up your world
Shake it down on the drawing board
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, ah 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)
