McCartney wrote this song to his guitar. It’s not as one would first believe a breakup song. He describes this in an interview with Jarvis Cocker at LIPA.
[Verse 1]
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 2]
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
[Verse 1]
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
