In Trouble Again

My stupid mouth has got me in trouble again;

don’t know where it starts but it’s got to end.

Not even aware, thinking I was showing I cared;

my intentions were pure

without a doubt I’m sure;

it seems I just can't ever win.

It started out so innocently;

sitting across each other so peacefully.

It seemed so right, the words were flowing,

all of a sudden I did something without knowing.

I guess I did because the way she looked at me;

we haven't even ordered yet and she’s saying check please.

Oh boy this somehow feels like déjà vu;

time after time and I still don't know what to do.

Yet she won't tell me where I went wrong;

you know what you did, how can you be so dumb?!

That’s what she’s thinking and I’m so far from reality;

doing all that I can to try to make amends and not feel silly.

Oh how I wish I had no vocal cords;

that way I couldn't say the words.

Falling over myself to get through the door,

feeling I’ve been kick in the gut and I’m on the floor,

just by the look on her face I know I'll have to crawl

to get back in her graces – I just don't know how far.

With this stupid mouth I'll never speak again

no matter what I say I can never win.

It seems like I'm getting good at apologies;

I can tell by the holes of my pants at the knees

and so thankful she’s good at forgiving;

though she’s selective at forgetting.

I'm reminded time and time again of where I stand;

of when I mess up with a friendly reprimand.

Now I can't remember where I just left my keys; she

rolling her eyes with them in her hand and smirking at me.

Ah yes, I remember why she's called my better half;

so she can remind me and have her little laugh.

I'm smarter than she knows as I lead her on;

just play dumb and enjoy the outcome.

She feels sorry for me and after all she should;

if you could get away with it I know you would.

So there is a reason I do what I do, so don't feel sorry;

yeah, you believe that too? Well I'm sticking to it and that’s my story.
