Hand Me Down
Written by - Thomas
From - More 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 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

Yeah...From what I've seen 
You're just one more hand me down
Cuz 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
 
From what I've seen 
You're just one more hand me down
Cuz 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 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

From what I've seen 
You're just one more hand me down
Cuz 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
