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

Won't take you all the way

And in a world so cold

Its hard to keep the faith

I'm 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
