| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
