When I was a boy
I didn't care about a thing
It was in and this world and a broken dream
I was bleaming 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

I've been looking for a lifeline
For it seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Looking 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 stuck by the light
And I fell to the ground

I've been looking for a lifeline
For it seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Looking 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
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
