[Verse 1]

Someday they'll find your small town world on a big town avenue

Gonna make you like the way they talk, when they're talkin' 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 holdin' you

Then you wonder why they haven't called when they said they'd call you

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You'll 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

[Bridge 1]

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 maybe rely on me

And cry on me, yeah

[Interlude]

Oh no, no, no

[Bridge 2]

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]

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

[Outro]

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

On me
