Confidante

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 In your reflected glory eye Could dream of shining far off lands Wish I could turn to bits of string And play like kittens in my hand In our imaginary world With butterflies were on me boots And stomp around the forests Chanting long lost anthems Long lost anthems 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 You used to be my confidante
