[Verse 1]

When I was a boy

I didn't care 'bout a thing

It was me in this world

And a broken dream

I was blamin' myself

For all that was goin' wrong

I was way out there

On the wrong side of town

And the ones that I loved

I started pushing them out

Then I realized

That it was all my fault

[Chorus]

I've been lookin' for a lifeline

For what seems like a lifetime

I'm drowning in the pain

I'm breaking down again

Lookin' 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 lookin' for a lifeline

For what seems like a lifetime

I'm drowning in the pain

I'm breaking down again

Lookin' 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

Lookin' for a lifeline

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

I've been lookin' for a lifeline (Looking for a lifeline)

For what seems like a lifetime (Seems like a lifetime)

I'm drowning in the pain

I'm breaking down again

Lookin' for a lifeline

Is there anybody out there? (Is there anybody out there?)

Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?

I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again

Lookin' for a lifeline
