Breaking Up To Making Up

Sitting in my room tonight
Wanting just to hold you tight
Wishing I could make things right
Guess I’ll just turn off the light

What did I do, what did I say
To make you want to turn away
Waiting for the light of a day
Baby, please come back to stay

I’m here in our bed without you
Hoping that you can’t sleep, too
Wish I knew just what to do
Does this mean that we’re through

After dawn, I hear the phone
Your voice has a different tone
You don’t like being on your own
You can’t take being all alone

The open door lets in the sun
Into my waiting arms you run
Both of us have come undone
Making up will be so much fun
