lyrics

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 has love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind.
Help me, please.

The roots of love grow all around,
but for me they come tumbling down.
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger.
I can't stand this pain much longer.
I walk in shadow searching for light.
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight.
Hoping and praying for someone who cares.
Always moving, going nowhere.

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who has love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind.
Help me, please.
