Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
[Verse 2]
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
Help me please
[Verse 3]
The roots of love grow all around
But for me, they come tumbling down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
[Verse 4]
I walk in shadows searching for light
Goin' it alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving but going nowhere
[Verse 5]
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
Help me please
[Verse 6]
I'm searching though I don't succeed, no
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
[Verse 7]
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 who cares
[Verse 8]
I'll be looking every day
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
Ooh, ooh
I'll find a way somehow
[Verse 9]
What you've got to know is
What becomes of the broken hearted?
I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do the best I can, girl
[Verse 10]
Ooh
I've got to, got to find her
Gotta find a way somehow, sugar
(What becomes of the broken hearted)
I need love, baby
(Who had love that's now departed?) I need ya, darlin'
Oh, oh, yeah
I've gotta find a woman who's gonna love me, love me
