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
