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.
