[Verse 1]

Little daughter

Born unto a man who needed sense

Little hand fits inside of yours like they belong

Little feet are struggling to keep up so I run

Never thought the man would walk away

Leave me undone

[Pre-Chorus]

Now every edge is frayed

My favorite colors faded

The shape of love is all worn out

[Chorus]

These hand me downs

Are all I've ever known

These hand me downs

Are all I've evеr owned

These sеcond hand thoughts

Second hand shoes

I could never quite fit myself into

Hand me downs

I'll wear hand me downs 'til I'm grown

'Til I'm grown

'Til I'm full grown

[Verse 2]

Little daughter

Caught between a woman and a child

Little teardrop trying to be the apple of your eye

Never thought I'd end up falling so far from the tree

And I'll miss you

But I know you won't be crying when I leave

[Pre-Chorus]

Now every edge is frayed

My favorite colors faded

The shape of love is all worn out

[Chorus]

These hand me downs

Are all I've ever known

These hand me downs

Are all I've ever owned

These second hand thoughts

Second hand shoes

I could never quite fit myself into

Hand me downs

I'll wear hand me downs 'til I'm grown

'Til I'm grown

[Bridge]

As your hair is turning gray

I see a softness in your face

What a shame I came a lifetime too late

[Chorus]

These hand me downs

Are all I've ever known

These hand me downs

Are all I've ever owned

These second hand thoughts

Second hand shoes

I could never quite fit myself into

Hand me downs

I'll wear hand me downs 'til I'm grown

'Til I'm grown

'Til I'm full grown
