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



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
