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 ′em out

Then I realized

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



[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



[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

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 (all the way)

And in a world so cold

It′s hard to keep the faith (keep the faith)

I′m never gonna fade away!!

Yeah!!



[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

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
