[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
[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 please
[Verse 2:]
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
I walk in shadows
Searching for light
Going it alone
No comfort in sight
Hoping and praying
For someone who cares
Always moving But going nowhere
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
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
[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
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone who cares
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
Woo, hoo
I'll find a way somehow
What you've got to know is
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
I'm gonna do
I'm gonna do the best I can, girl
Woo, hoo
I've gotta, gotta find her
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Gotta find a way somehow, sugar
(What becomes of the brokenhearted?)
I need love, baby
(Who had love that's now departed?)
I need you, darling
Oohh, whoa, yeah
I've gotta find a woman
Who is gonna love me, love me
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
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
Help me please
[Verse 2:]
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
I walk in shadows
Searching for light
Going it alone
No comfort in sight
Hoping and praying
For someone who cares
Always moving But going nowhere
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
I'm searching though
I don't succeed, no
