Lifeline (Acoustic Version)

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 realized that it was all my fault 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 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 looking for a lifeline For what 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, yeah 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 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
