Hand Me Down Lyrics - Matchbox Twenty

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 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 you think they would 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 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 baby rely on me 

And cry on me, yeah 

Some day they'll open up your world 

Shake it down to the drawing board 

Do their best to change you 

They still can't erase you 

[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 

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
