Lifeline

1. When I was a boy
I didn't care 'bout 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 'em out
Then I realised
That it was all my fault.

[Chorus:]
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline.

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.

[Bridge:]
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
Wont take you all the way
And in a world so cold
Its hard to keep the faith
Im never gonna fade away.

Yeah

[Coda:]
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.
