You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

[Intro]


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

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


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 got no name

Cause you re living with me

We re one and the same

And even though they dont show
They scars aren t so old
And when they go
They 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
Don t try, don t try
