Various Artists What Becomes of the Brokenhearted lyrics

As I walk this land of broken dreams
(Broken dreams)
I have visions of many things
(So many things)
But happiness is just an illusion
(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 kinda peace of mind maybe

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

I walk in shadows searching for light
(Searching for light)
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
(No comfort in sight)
Hopin' and praying for someone who'll care
(Someone to care)
Always moving and 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
(Don't succeed)
But someone look, there's a growing need
(Such a growing need)
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
(No 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 every day
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere
