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

Interlude

Chorus 3

 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
