You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

[Verse 1] It doesn't pay to try All the smart boys know why It doesn't mean I didn't try I just never know why Feel so cold and all alone 'Cause baby, you're not at home And when I'm home Big deal, I'm still alone [Verse 2] 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 aren't so old And when they go They let you know [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] You're just a bastard kid And you got 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 so old And when they go They let you know [Chorus] 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 Don't try, don't try
