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

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who have loved, that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, baby

The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come a-tumbling down
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer

I walk in shadow, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and going nowhere

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who have loved, that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, help me, please

I'm searching though I don't succeed
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

Now, what becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who have loved, 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

Now, what becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who have loved, that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be looking everywhere
I know I'm gonna find a way
