Memories come flooding back, the bitter pain of disappointment
Of once of having love but now I only feel loss
I’m living on a KNIFEDGE
At the end of the line
I’m taking all the hard sell
I’m looking for a lifeline
When you ain’t got no-one in this world, it makes you feel useless
It gives you nothing to live for nothing to die for
I’m burning up, such a long way from home
I’ve got it all to give and no-one to give it to
That’s why I’m looking for you, for someone to whom I can prove
That I’m not through, I’m alive and I need love too
I’m living on a KNIFEDGE, at the end of the line
I’m taking all the hard sell, looking for a lifeline
I’m looking for you now
And the doors of love seem closed
No matter how hard I try to kick them down
It seems to all add up in my mind
Just going round and around and around
I’m fired up, ’cause there’s nothing I can do to change things
I’ve just got to sit back and wait for my chance to come
That’s why I’m looking for you, for someone to whom I can prove
That I’m not through, I’m alive and that’s the truth
I’m living on a KNIFEDGE, at the end of the line
I’m taking all the hard sell, looking for a lifeline
I’m looking for you now
Memories come flooding back, the bitter pain of disappointment
Of once of having love but now I only feel loss
There’s a pointlessness about it all
I’ve got to force that to the back of my mind
The important thing now is just, I’ve got to survive
I’m living on a KNIFEDGE
