What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted
Spectrum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things.
Love's happiness is 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.

Maybe, the fruits of love grow all around
but for me they come a tumblin' down.
Ev'ry day 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 and prayin' for
Someone to care, always movin' 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.
Maybe, I'm searching though I don't succeed,
but someone look, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for 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 ev'rywhere just find someone to care.
I'll be looking ev'ry day;
I know I'm gonna find a way.
Nothing's gonna stop me now;
I'll find a way some how.
I'll be searching ev'rywhere just find someone to care.
I'll be looking ev'ry day;
I know I'm gonna find a way.




Nothing's gonna stop me now;
I'll find a way some how.

Thank you for this valuable information. Broken Heart Syndrom and PTSD are very closely related and need to be equally addressed in my trauma recovery for elderly people. Many of my clients are above 70 and have a trauma history of minimum 30yrs. Conditions like BHS and PTSD are the real pandemic!

Every parent knows that children look at their grandparents as sources of wisdom and security. My grandmother is a remarkable woman. She's a wonderful combination of warmth and kindness, laughter and love. I hope God gives her joy and happiness, and after life i wish she will remind in Jannah inshallah.

My grandpa was my hero. When he died in 2000, I felt like the world was over. However, once I realized I had to keep his legacy alive. My thoughts changed from sadness to determination. 🦾
