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
