What Becomes of the Broken Hearted Songtext
von Jimmy Ruffin

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 broken hearted?
Who have 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-tumbling 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 they bring, oh someone who cares
Always moving and going nowhere


What becomes of the broken hearted?
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
For someone's love has 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 broken hearted?
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 going to find a way
Nothing′s gonna stop me now
I′ll find a way somehow
And I'll be searching everywhere
I′m know I've gotta find a way
