Confidante lyrics

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 I

Could dream of shining far off lands

Where serpents turn to bits of string

And played like kittens in my hand

In our imaginary world

Where butterflies wear army boots

And stomp around the forest 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
