Bruce Springsteen - 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)

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 kind of peace of mind

Baby



The roots of love grow all around (all around)

But for me they come a-tumblin' down (come tumblin' down)

Every day, heartaches grow 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)

Hoping and praying for someone to care (someone please care)

Always moving and goin' 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



I'm searching, though I don't succeed (don't succeed)

For someone's love, 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



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 who cares

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 (what becomes of the brokenhearted)

Until I find someone who cares



I know I'll find my way (who had love that's now departed?)

I'm gonna find my way

I'm gonna find my way (I know I've got to find)

I'm gonna find my way (Some kind of peace of mind)

I'm gonna find my way (I'll be searching everywhere)

I'm gonna find my way (just to find someone who cares)
