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
