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 brokenhearted
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 searching for light
cold and alone no comfort in sight
hoping and praying for 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
4
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 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 everyday
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
