Confidant

8am I awake from a comatose but the nurses never glance Because I was asleep on my friends sofa they were going out to class I ascended the stairs to find you still lying in her bed We had classes too, but we just talked fragile till noon instead You laughed at all my jokes, not because you'd understand But because you were my home, built on stone instead of sand And when you went away to stay in some far distant land I still felt you in my brain smiling holding my hand You didn't want a boy to free you, you just needed a confidant Someone to understand you, not just biding for their own wants And I would do anything for you, cause on those most chaotic nights You were my warm calming companion, like the sweetest cup of chai We tied grass around our fingers, faux halloween night wedding Grass would never last but we didn't care for fancy things I wrote two songs about our lives and nights oh so fantastic And from a Christmas cracker you got me a new ring made of plastic I felt I lost that piece of us when my mind began to fray When you came home, I let our house fall into disarray My ring fell down the drain, whilst I washed my twisted face Because I let your essence go, I've not felt clean to this day
