Confidante

[Chorus:]
You used to be my confidante
My underneath-the-staircase friend
But I fell out of love with you
And brought our romance to an end
I played with you throughout the day
And told you every secret thought
Unlike my other so-called friends
You stood beside me as I fought.

[Verse 1:]
In your reflected glory I
Could dream of shining far off lands
Where serpents turn to bits of string
And play like kittens in my hand.

[Verse 2:]
In our imaginary world
Where butterflies were on the woods
And stomp around the forests
Chanting long lost anthems
Long lost anthems.

[Chorus:]
You used to be my confidante
My underneath-the-staircase friend
But I fell out of love with you
And brought our romance to an end
I played with you throughout the day
And told you every secret thought
Unlike my other so-called friends
You stood beside me as I fought
You stood beside me as I fought.

[Outro:]
You used to be my confidante.
