[Verse 1] When I was a boy I did not care about 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 them out Then I realized That it was all my fault [Chorus] I have been looking for a lifeline For what seems like a lifetime I am 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 Is there anybody out there? Can you pull me from this ocean of despair? I am drowning in the pain Breaking down again Looking for a lifeline You know a heart of gold Will not take you all the way And in a world so cold It is hard to keep the faith I am never going to fade away! [Chorus] I have been looking for a lifeline (I have been looking for a lifeline) For what seems like a lifetime (For what seems like a lifetime) I am drowning in the pain Breaking down again Looking for a lifeline [Chorus] Is there anybody out there? (Is there anybody out there?) Can you pull me from this ocean of despair? I am 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! [Chorus] I have been looking for a lifeline ( looking for a lifeline) For what seems like a lifetime (For what seems like a lifetime) I am drowning in the pain Breaking down again Looking for a lifeline [Chorus] Is there anybody out there? (Is there anybody out there?) Can you pull me from this ocean of despair? I am drowning in the pain Breaking down again Looking for a lifeline (Looking for a lifeline)
