I'll Make It Up to You

lyrics

When did you learn
That I had earned
A badge in war
Dealing with you

I’ll make it up
Make it up to you

Found in our bed
The cavalry dead
Stripped of their mares
Bayonets too

I’ll make it up
Make it up to you
I'll make it up
Make it up to you
To you
Tell you the truth
That’s what I’ll do


'Cause in the rain
The fire soaked
Come back as steam
I’ll come back as smoke

I’ll make it up
Make it up to you
I'll make it up
Make it up to you


Callous and thorned
How we were born
Left overgrown
Weaving like roots

I’ll make it up
Make it up to you

Thick intertwined
Sick twisted vines
Choking our sight
We climbed to the roof

I’ll make it up
Make it up to you
I'll make it up
Make it up to you
To you
Tell you the truth
Make no excuse


It’s in the way
You hold your face
Close up to mine
As if to look through

I’ll make it up
Make it up to you
I'll make it up
Make it up to you


Then came the war
Still we were sure
Soldiers we were
Steadfast and true

I’ll make it up
Make it up to you

But that canon blast
Hissing it passed
And we pulled apart
As seedlings are blew

I’ll make it up
Make it up to you


For easily I
Have turned aside
For every heart
Other than you

I’ll make it up
Make it up to you
I'll make it up
Make it up to you


Even though it’s probably over
It’s over
