Bruce Springsteen Lyrics - What Becomes of the Brokenhearted

Bruce Springsteen - What Becomes of the Brokenhearted

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)
