Taken from the dvd SHOW a night in the life of matchboxtwenty
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 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
(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 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 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
(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
Matchbox Twenty - Hand Me Down
Taken from the dvd SHOW a night in the life of matchboxtwenty
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 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
(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 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
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
(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
