Mischief Managed

You were anticipating shallow water Instead you fell in the deep end This water’s a shade of blue you haven’t seen before You forgot that curiosity killed the cat Explains why you would you go and do a thing like that Unfortunately there’s a price to pay for waking her When you had no intention of staying up late You just delivered more rain to the flood gate Cos what’s a little more chaos It’s not your mess to clean up though So don’t mention it this time Be grateful for the silent goodbye The story can’t be told the same as it was lived And realistically what else can she do but forgive A well rehearsed smile hiding shame Once again only herself to blame It’s all love, she says Licking her wounds and counting the damage Another day another mischief managed
