Hand Me Down
(Rob Thomas)
Hand Me Down
Someday they'll find our 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 your shell
Cuz 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
(chorus)
From what I've seen
You're just one more hand me down
But no one's tried to give you
What you need
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 holding 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
(chorus)
I'm here for the hard times
The straight to your heart times
When living ain't easy
You can stand up against me
Whatever may fall on you
Call on me
Someday they'll open up your world
Shake you down to the very core
They'll do their best to change you
Trying to erase you
