I've been watching my life go by

Been doing the same to you

Like a man without a plan

Like a ship without a crew

Big man's given' second chances

That come once in your life

Leave your back against the wall

He just cuts you like a knife

Cuts you like a knife

I'm a man with a bad reputation

And it haunts me like a curse

Like the streets of a New York City

It's the town that makes them worse

Take a look at a bad man's past

He'll make you realize

Live your life against the wall

It just Cuts you like a knife

Cuts you like a knife

Cuts you like a knife

Cuts you like a knife

Big man's giving' second chances

That come once in your life

Leave your back against the wall

Cuts you like a knife

Cuts you like a knife

I've been watching my life go by

Been doing the same to you

Like a man without a plan

Like a ship without a crew

Big man's giving second chances

That come once in your life

leave your back against the wall

Cuts you like a knife

You try to walk away

Cuts you like a knife

You try to say your sorry

Cuts you like a knife

The world is on your shoulders

Cuts you like a knife

You try to walk away

Cuts you like a knife

Your up against the wall again

Cuts you like a knife

Cuts you like a knife

Cuts you like a knife
