Practice Smiling

You’re awfully quiet are you sure there’s nothing wrong?
If you can’t talk now, this can wait 'til later on
You take on so much I think you spread yourself to thin
When you put the pen down, could you try to pencil me in?
It’s alright, I’m fine
Just keep pushing me aside
Your hands are full and me, my hands are tied
Just do your thing and I’ll practice smiling
Just tell me how long I should keep waiting up for you?
I know you’re tired but you’ve got some catching up to do
So what did you expect? A ticker tape parade?
I’ll stand behind you 'cause I don’t want to get in the way
It’s alright, I’m fine
Just keep pushing me aside
Your hands are full and me, my hands are tied
Just do your thing and I’ll practice smiling
Bridge:
Nowadays it’s always come and go
The moment you come home
You’re leaving me behind again
Grown impatient with saving face and so
I’ll say what’s on my mind
Can I have you for one night?
Breakdown:
It’s alright, I’m fine
Just keep pushing me aside
Your hands are full and me, my hands are tied
It’s alright, I’m fine
This happens all the time
Just do your thing and I
I’ll practice smiling
