Sift through emotion, buying some time, finding what I have sought
Nothing is better, a liking to you, wish I could see you tonight
Toss it around, reading my mind, based on all your thoughts
Call me up later, willing to wait, knowing that we were right

As far as I'm concerned
Happiness is learned
When will you return?

Pack up my heart, "love you, goodbye," time has not been kind
Something in common, not always best, feelings will make me sick
Whisper my name, all up to me, I've made up my mind
Gaze at the stars, planning our lives, the tears have grown too thick

As far as I'm concerned
Happiness is learned
When will you return?

Drift off to sleep, so silent and sweet, as beautiful as the night
Try and feel better, I am a mess, the pain inside my gut
Changed with the times, passion's a crime, but never out of spite
Get some rest, learn something new, "I'll love you no matter what...."

As far as I'm concerned
Happiness is learned
When will you return?

One thing that I learned
Was how to be concerned
You never will return....
