Knife Edge Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Memories come flooding back
The bitter pain of disappointment
Of once of having love, but now I only feel loss
[Chorus]
I'm living on a knife edge
At the end of the line
Taking all the hard sell
I'm looking for a lifeline
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, now, now
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
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, oh, no, no
Well, I'm burning up, burning up, burning up
I'm such a long way from home
I've got it all to give and no one to give it to
[Pre-Chorus]
That's why I'm looking for you
For someone to whom I can prove
That I'm not through, no, no, no, no
I'm alive and I need love too
[Chorus]
I'm living on a knife edge
At the end of the line
I'm taking all the hard sell
I'm looking for a lifeline
On a knife edge, oh
I'm looking for you now
I'm looking for you
No, no, no, no
[Verse 3]
And the doors of love seem closed
No matter how hard I try to kick 'em down
It seems to all add up in my mind
Just going 'round and around and around
Well, I'm fired up, fired up, fired up
'Cause there's nothing I can do to change it
I've just gotta sit back and wait for my chance to come
[Pre-Chorus]
That's why I'm looking for you
For someone to whom I can prove
That I'm not through, no, no, no, no
I'm alive and that's the truth
[Chorus]
I'm living on a knife edge
At the end of the line
I'm taking all the hard sell
I'm looking for a lifeline
On a knife edge, oh
I'm looking for you now
[Verse 4]
Memories come flooding back
The bitter pain of disappointment
Of once of having love, but now I only feel loss
There's, oh, there's a pointlessness about it all
I've gotta force that to the back of my mind
Ah, the important thing now
Is just I've gotta survive
[Chorus]
I'm-I'm living on a knife edge
I'm on the end of the line
I'm taking all the hard sell
I'm looking for a lifeline
I'm living on a knife edge
I'm living on the end of the line
