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
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 bone
And even though they don't show
The scars are still there
And when they go
They let you know, okay
You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
Don't try, don't try
You're just a bastard, kid
You got no name
'Cause you living with me
We're one and the same
And even though they don't show
The scars are still there
And when they go
They let you know, okay
You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
Don't try, don't try
You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
Don't try, don't try, don't try
