Lifeline Lyrics

When I was a boy, I didn′t care 'bout a thing
It was me and 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 pushin' ′em 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
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, then I fell to the ground

I′ve been lookin' for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I′m drowning in the pain
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
Yeah

I've been lookin′ for a lifeline (lookin' for a lifeline)
For what seems like a lifetime
I′m drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Lookin' for a lifeline

Is there anybody out 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
