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
