rate me

Someday they'll find your small town world on a big town avenue<br>Gonna make you like the way they talk when they're talking to you<br>Gonna make you break out of the shell cause they tell you to<br>Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth<br>They'll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say<br>They're gonna break your heart, yeah<br><br>[chorus]<br><br>From what I've seen<br>You're just a one more hand me down<br>Cause no one's tried to give you what you need<br>So lay all your troubles down<br>I am with you now<br><br>Somebody ought to take you in<br>Try to make you love again<br>Try to make you like the way they feel<br>When they're under your skin<br>Never once did think they'd lie when they're holding you<br>You wonder why they haven't called<br>When they said they'd call you<br>You start to wonder if you're ever gonna make it by<br>You'll start to think you were born blind<br><br>[chorus]<br><br>From what I've seen<br>You're just a one more hand me down<br>Cause no one's tried to give you what you need<br>So lay all your troubles down<br>I am with you now<br><br>I'm here for the hard times<br>The straight to your heart times<br>Whenever it ain't easy<br>You can stand up against me<br>And maybe rely on me<br>And cry on me, yeah<br>Oh no, no, no<br><br>Some day they'll open up your world<br>Shake it down on a drawing board<br>Do their best to change you<br>They still can't erase you<br><br>[chorus]<br><br>From what I've seen<br>You're just a one more hand me down<br>Cause no one's tried to give you what you need<br>So lay all your troubles down<br>I am with you now<br><br>Lay them down on me<br>Oh yeah<br>You're just one more hand me down<br>And all those nots don't give you what you need<br>So lay all your troubles down...on me
