You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

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
