You Can’t Put Your Arms Round a Memory

[Verse 1]
Doesn't pay to try
’Cause all the smart boys know why
It doesn't mean I didn't try
But I just never know why
Feel so cold and all alone
’Cause baby, you're not home
And when I'm home
Mm, I'm still alone

[Chorus]
But you can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
So don't try
Don’t try
Don’t try
Don't try

[Verse 2]
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 so old
Yeah, when they go
They'll let you know

[Chorus]
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
So don't try
Don't try

'Cause you can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try
Don't try
Don't try
Don't try
Don't try
