To Make It Up To You

from Life After Death (LP) by Bee Appleseed

/

lyrics

I see my heart protruding, its weight upon a crutch
Its gratification so dependent upon a warm body to touch
Does it really matter whom? Just another’s hopes to lift
But the offer is not in your favor for you’ll leave with less than you had when you came in
And my reactions rest solely upon yours to that of mine

Oh let me make it right
Let me show you that I realize
That one’s behaviors are not self-contained
For they affect all those who share the stage
And I only wish to make it up to you
And you can put your trust in me
For I no longer wish to be what you’ve seen
And you can’t forgive enough to forget
But I only wish for one last chance
Yeah I only wish to make it up to you

And your heart is represented by all the goodness that can be
And mine is but the remnants of the ideals I could never reach
So do you want all these old maps to the places that I’ve never been?
Or would you rather the keys to the castle built on a foundation made of sand?
And I only want to see you happy for nothing would please me more

Oh let me make it right
Let me show you that I realize
That one’s behaviors are not self-contained
For they affect all those who share the stage
And I only wish to make it up to you
And you can put your trust in me
For I no longer wish to be what you’ve seen
And you can’t forgive enough to forget
But I only wish for one last chance
Yeah I only wish to make it up to you

Now I stand as stiff as a statue; petrified to recall the past
I’m on the bow of a sinking ship and your lifeboat is the last
And I understand that your charity is a virtue that I don’t deserve
Well I don’t expect it to be there always just as I would be surprised if mine had any worth
And now my value is in your hands; I cast my hopes to thee

Oh let me make it right
Let me show you that I realize
That one’s behaviors are not self-contained
For they affect all those who share the stage
And I only wish to make it up to you
And you can put your trust in me
For I no longer wish to be what you’ve seen
And you can’t forgive enough to forget
But I only wish for one last chance
Yeah I only wish to make it up to you
