You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

It doesn't pay to try
 All the smart boys know why
 It doesn't mean I didn't try
 I just never knew why
 Feel so cold and all alone
 'Cause baby, you're not home
 And when I'm home
 Big deal, I'm 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 don't show
 The scars are so old
 And when they go, yeah
 They sure let you know, yeah
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 Don't try, don't try
 You're just a bastard kid
 And you like your no-name
 'Cause you're living with me
 We're one and the same
 And even though they don't show
 The scars aren't that old
 And when they go
 They sure let you know
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 Don't try, don't try
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 You can't put your arms around a memory
 Don't try, don't try
