You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory Lyrics

Doesn't pay to try.
At least my boys know why.
Doesn't mean I didn't try,
Just never know why.

Feel so cold and alone
'Cause baby you're not at home,
And when I'm home
I am alone.

Feel so restless, I am
Beat my head against a post.
Try to knock some sense
Down on my bones.

And even though they don't show,
The scars aren't so old.
And when they go,
They'll 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
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 don't show
The scars aren't old
And when they go
They gonna let you know

That 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

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
Don't try
