Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
[Chorus]
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe
[Verse 2]
The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come a-tumblin' down
Every day, heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
[Verse 3]
I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone who'll care
Always moving and going nowhere
[Chorus]
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me
[Verse 4]
I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone's love there's a growing need
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
[Chorus]
Now, what becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
[Outro]
I'll be looking every day (Now, what becomes of the broken hearted)
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now (Who had love that's now departed?)
I'll find a way somehow
