Lyrics

This hand-me-down heart has been used and passed around
And it has been known to skip a beat
It's been lost and kicked to ground, too many times to even count
Yet each small lonely piece still believes
This hand-me-down heart has a long and checkered past
And there's no hurtful place it hasn't seen
Woods ragged and torn, scarred with all the scorn
Left by every love that found a way to leave
There's so many things inside
That it could show you (that it could show you)
Beyond the tears lies the joy of another life (another life)
A closer look and you might see
All the risk it took for me
An unbroken heart would never try
There's so many things inside
That it could show you (that it could show you)
Beyond the tears lies the joy of another life (another life)
A closer look and you might see
All the risk it took for me
An unbroken heart would never try
This hand-me-down heart could be yours to steal
If you can look past its history
So keep that in mind and call any time
If a hand-me-down heart would suit your needs
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
