Napoleon’s offering to Josephine

Truth is that…
I don’t have much to offer
I don’t have a body to cause envy
I don’t have the looks to melt ice
I don’t have a fast car to take you out
neither take you to live to a big house

But I give you everything else

I give you my hands to hold you
whenever you feel you’re falling
and my arms to protect you
when the world is taking over
I offer my back to carry you
when you feel you can’t go forward
and my chest as a pillow
if you need to rest your head
I’ll smile every time you feel down
and kiss you when you feel sad
I will walk with you trough happiness
keeping just the memories you want
and repealing the ones you don’t
I offer my eyes for you to look at
when you don’t want to see the rest
I offer to you my open heart
when you want to hide from everything else
and I will always have a word
to get you up and give you hope

Please don’t fall

I am honored, really, I am
but I’d made it different if I could
so that you don’t fall for me
even if it could not be done

Don’t get me wrong,
you are still beautiful
you are still lovely
you are still perfect
I’m just not the guy for you

I feel sorry that I dragged you with me
that I got you trapped in my world
giving you my flirty looks
telling you the magic words
I feel sad for you and I
I really do, I really am

Please excuse me, cause I don’t know better
I let myself go and the words flow
before I realize why this is a bad idea
love comes knocking before  I know

And I can’t respond the way you want me to
cause I am not the guy to hold your hand
To make you coffee in the morning
I’m not the one to kiss good night

There is nothing wrong with you
I’m sure you’ll find a better guy
just not here, just not with me
even if I can’t tell you why

It might seem that I’m wrong now
but tomorrow you will see
that I am not the guy you want
the guy with who you want to be
though I’m still honored you looked at me.
