Verse 1
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 (going wrong)
I was way out there
On the wrong side of town
And the one's that I loved
I started pushing them out
Then I realized
That it was all my fault
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
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
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Chorus 2
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
Bridge
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

Chorus 3
Is there anybody out there
Can you pull me from this
ocean of despair
I'm drowning in the pain

Looking for a lifeline
