The song "Make It Up To You" by J.C. Lodge is a plea from someone who has lost the love of their life and is begging for another chance to make things right. The opening lines immediately convey a sense of urgency, as the singer repeats the phrase "gotta make it up" four times. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is a heartfelt apology and a promise to do better.

The line "I thought I could make it on my own" suggests that the singer may have ended the relationship, only to realize too late that they were not ready to be alone. The line "To the world I seemed fine but I'm hurt inside" speaks to the idea that we often present a façade to others, but are struggling internally.

The chorus repeats the phrase "gotta make it up" and adds the modifier "to you, my love." This repetition emphasizes the importance of the person the singer is addressing and their desire to reconcile. The bridge reinforces this message by stating that "you'll never know a good thing till it’s gone" and reaffirming the singer's commitment to doing whatever it takes to win back their love.

J.C. Lodge - Make It Up To You

Ooh, oh, yeah
Ooh, sim

Tenho que fazer as pazes
(Adicione-lo, torná-lo)
Para você, meu amor
(Adicione-lo, torná-lo)

Tenho que fazer as pazes
(Adicione-lo, torná-lo)
Para você, meu amor
(Torná-lo para cima, fazer as pazes com você)

Eu pensei que eu poderia fazer isso sozinho
Até que você saiu e eu me senti sozinho
Escondendo o coração do meu coração por trás do meu orgulho
Para o mundo que eu parecia bem, mas eu estou machucado por dentro

Como eu posso ir por esse caminho?
Quando eu quero seu amor de volta

Eu tenho que fazer as pazes
(Adicione-lo, torná-lo)
Para você, meu amor
(Torná-lo para cima, fazer as pazes com você)

Tenho que fazer as pazes
(Adicione-lo, torná-lo)
Para você, meu amor
(Torná-lo para cima, fazer as pazes com você)

Você nunca vai saber uma coisa boa até que? Se foi
? Porque o amor que eu tinha é o amor que eu quero
Então, eu decidi o que for preciso
Você tem que ser meu amante mais uma vez

Baby, eu preciso de todo o seu amor
Sem o seu amor Eu simplesmente não posso continuar

Eu tenho que fazer as pazes
(Adicione-lo, torná-lo)
Para você, meu amor
(Torná-lo para cima, fazer as pazes com você)

Tenho que fazer as pazes
(Adicione-lo, torná-lo)
Para você, meu amor
(Torná-lo para cima, fazer as pazes com você)

Você nunca vai saber uma coisa boa até que? Se foi
? Porque o amor que eu tinha é o amor que eu quero
Então eu decidi, não importa o que é preciso
Você tem que ser meu amante mais uma vez

Baby, eu preciso de todo o seu amor
Tanto que as palavras não podem explicar

Eu tenho que fazer as pazes
(Adicione-lo, torná-lo)
Para você, meu amor
(Torná-lo para cima, fazer as pazes com você)

Tenho que fazer as pazes
(Adicione-lo, torná-lo)
Para você, meu amor
(Torná-lo para cima, fazer as pazes com você)

Quero fazer as pazes
(Adicione-lo, torná-lo)
Para você, meu amor
