As i walk this land of broken dreams,
I have visions of many things
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 piece of mind
Tell me please

The roots of love grow all around,
But for me they come tumbling down (tumbling down)
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger, (stronger)
I can’t stand this pain much longer

I walk in shadows searching for light,
Go to the light, no comfort insight
Hoping it brings someone who cares,
(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 piece of mind
Tell me please

I’m searching though
I don’t succeed for someone’s love there’s a growing need
All is lost there no place for me here,
All that’s left is an unhappy ending

What becomes of the brokenhearted who had love that’s now departed
I know i’ve got to find some kind of piece 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

Ooh ooh
I’ll find a way somehow
What you got to know is

What becomes of the brokenhearted
I’m gonna do, i’m gonna do best i can, girl

Oooh oooh....
I’ve gotta, got to find her

Mmmmm

Got to find a way somehow, sugar
(what becomes of the brokenhearted)
I’m needing ya, baby
(who had love that’s now departed)
I’m needing ya, darling
Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah... girl
I got to find a woman who’s gonna love me love me what becomes of this broken man ............... I m gunna do gunna do the best that i can!
