Practice Smiling - The Argument

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
