You Cant Put Your Arms

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
