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 played like kittens in my hand [Verse 2] In our imaginary world Where butterflies wear army boots And stomp around the forest 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
