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
