Lifeline

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 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, 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
