When I was a boy,
I didn't care about 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 them out.
Then I realized,
That it was all my fault.
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,
Then 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,
Won't take you all the way.
And in a world so cold,
It's hard to keep the faith.
I'm never gonna fade away.
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.
