[Verse 1] After all those nights of aching (All those nights) I learned a man can keep on taking (Keep on taking) But sorrow ain’t the final answer (Not the answer) It can teach a man to stand much stronger [Chorus] This becomes of the brokenhearted They rise up where the hurt first started I know I had to find my own peace of mind Finally (Finally) [Verse 2] I kept reaching for what had ended (What had ended) Kept replaying vows we defended (We defended) Every day, I held on a little tighter (Little tighter) Till holding on made nothing better I stopped asking why she left me (Why she left me) Stopped letting old memories test me (Test me) Found out pain can lose its power (Lose its power) When a man lives past the hardest hour [Chorus] This becomes of the brokenhearted They rise up where the hurt first started I know I had to find my own peace of mind Trust me (Trust me) [Verse 3] Now I know what all that pain meant (What it meant) It was love I gave where it never should’ve went (Should’ve went) But I’m not the man she left there crying (Left there crying) I found my pride while my tears were drying [Chorus] Now this becomes of the brokenhearted They walk on from the love that departed I know I had to claim my own peace of mind And I’ll keep moving on till a better love is mine (Love is mine) [Outro] I’ll be living every day, I know I’m gonna find my way (this becomes of the brokenhearted) Nothing’s gonna hold me down, I made it through somehow, (from the love that once departed) I’ll keep standing, I’ll keep searching, I know somebody’s gonna care I’ll be living, I’ll be loving, (I’ll be ready when love meets me there)
