Verse:
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?

Chorus:
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

Verse:
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

Chorus:
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
