Hand Me Downs

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

Now every edge is frayed
My favorite colors faded
The shape of love is all worn out

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

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

Now every edge is frayed
My favorite colors faded
The shape of love is all worn out

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

As your hair is turning gray
I see a softness in your face
What a shame I came a lifetime too late

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
