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 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 It's hard to keep the faith I'm never gonna fade away 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
