You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory

It doesnt pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesnt mean I didnt try
I just never know why
Feel so cold and all alone
Cause baby, youre not at home
And when Im home
Big deal, Im still alone
Feel so restless, I am
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense
Down in my bones
And even though they dont show
The scars arent so old
And when they go
They let you know
You cant put your arms around a memory
You cant put your arms around a memory
You cant put your arms around a memory
Dont try
Dont try
Youre just a bastard kid
And you got no name
Cause youre living with me
Were one and the same
And even though they dont show
The scars arent so old
And when they go
They let you know (Ill tell)
You cant put your arms around a memory
You cant put your arms around a memory
You cant put your arms around a memory
Dont try
Dont try
You cant put your arms around a memory
You cant put your arms around a memory
You cant put your arms around a memory
Dont try
Dont try
Dont try (Try)
Dont try
Dont try (Try)
