"What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" lyrics

What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted

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 broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Baby, yeah

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

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

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
Baby

I'm searching though
I don't succeed
But someone look
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 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

I'll be looking every day
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing will stop me now
I'll find a way somehow

I'll find a way somehow
What becomes
What becomes
What becomes of the broken hearted?
