When I was a boy
I didn't care 'bout a thing
It was me and this world and a broken dream
I was blaming myself
for all that was going wrong

I was way out there
on the wrong side of town
and the ones that I loved
I started pushing 'em out
then I realised
That it was all my fault

(Chorus)
I've been looking for a lifeline
for what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain
breaking down again
looking for a lifeline

So I put out my hand
and I asked for some help
we tore down the walls I built around myself
I was struck by the light
and I fell to the ground

I've been looking for a lifeline
for what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain
breaking down again
looking for a lifeline

Is there anybody out there?
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
I'm drowning in the pain
breaking down again
looking for a lifeline

You know a heart of gold
wont take you all the way
And in a world so cold
its hard to keep the faith
Im never gonna fade away!

Yeah!

I've been looking for a lifeline
for what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain
breaking down again
looking for a lifeline

Is there anybody out there?
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
I'm drowning in the pain
breaking down again
looking for a lifeline
