[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
