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 had love that's now departed?

I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, maybe



The roots of love grow all around

But for me they come a-tumbling down

Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger

I can't stand this pain much longer



I walk in shadows, searching for light

Cold and alone, no comfort in sight

Hoping and praying for someone who cares

Always moving but going nowhere



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 please



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



Now 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



I'll be searching everywhere just to find someone to care

I'll be looking everyday, I know I've gotta find a way

Nothing's gonna stop me now, I'll find a way somehow



I'll be searching everywhere just to find someone who cares

I'll be looking everyday, I know I've gotta find a way

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
