What Becomes Of The Broken-Hearted?

(album: Poetic Justice - 1996)

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 have love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace in mind
Help me

The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come a-tumbling down
Every heartache grows a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows searching for life
Cold and alone, no comfort inside
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving but going nowhere

I'm searching, though I don't succeed
(For someone's love, there's a growing need)
All is last, I can see no beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending

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
