i'm too sweet for you
you go to bed at three
i tried being a night owl
but i like morning me

you were the first to offer me some whiskey
you told me you liked it neat
i tried playing it risky
but this is not me

i like to be in bed by 9
i like to drink some tea
please hand me my new favourite book
while I listen to the birds in my neighbour's tree

i'm not going to tell you how to live your life
or to be grateful for the sunlight
that falls onto your skin
but my patience is worn thin

so you go and enjoy your late night coffee
and your whiskey too
i hope you get everything you've ever wanted
and that we may both meet someone new
inspired by the song ''too sweet'' - Hozier
