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
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

can  you  pull  me  from  this  ocean  of  despair?
i'm  drowning  in  the  pain
breaking  down  again
looking  for  a  lifeline
