As I walk this land of broken dreams
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down
Everyday 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 prayin' for someone who cares
Always movin' and goin' nowhere
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone's love there's a growing need
All is lost there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Tell me, tell me what becomes of the broken-hearted...
