make it up to you 

A phrase said when someone makes you feel like horse manure and then acts like they are going to rectify their carelessness by doing something that would actually constitute a change in their behavior, when really it's just bullshit words that allow them to be forgiven until they repeat said horse manure behavior.
"Sorry I stood you up, I'll make it up to you!"

Make it up to 

Idiom.
To "make it up to someone" means to do something nice for them after you've messed up, like buying them a drink after you forgot their birthday or bailing them out of jail after a wild night. It's all about trying to smooth things over when you've been a total jerk.
Example: "I totally flaked on our plans, so I’m gonna make it up to her by taking her out for a night of debauchery and enough booze to forget I’m an idiot."

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
