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
Maybe

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

I walk in shadows searchin' for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hopin' and prayin' for someone who cares
Always movin' and goin' 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
Help me, please

I'm searchin' though I don't succeed
For someone's love there's a growin' need
All is lost, there's no place for beginnin'
All that's left is an unhappy endin'

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 searchin' everywhere, just to find someone to care

I'll be lookin' every day, I know I'm gonna find a way
(What becomes of the broken hearted)
Nothin's gonna stop me now, I'll find a way somehow
(Who had love that's now departed)

I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind
(Now what becomes of the broken hearted)
I'll be searchin' everywhere, just to find someone to care
(Who had love that's now departed)

What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed
Now departed, yeah
