Title: Confidant

And with the world comes misery
Comes jealousy and pain
And with new friends come enemies
The fortune brings the fame
And oh my dear confidant
(tell me how to feel)
Tell me how to feel
(tell me how you've been)
I've been overwhelmed
(overwhelmed by what)
By what lies up ahead
Only when your heart is true
Only when your heart is true
Till you learn to trust yourself
Put your trust in someone else
And with new love comes mystery
Comes fear you can't define
And with new love comes history
Old stars that won't align
Oh my dear confidant
(tell me how to feel)
Tell me how to feel
(tell me how you've been)
I've been overwhelmed
(overwhelmed by what)
By what lies up ahead
Only when your heart is true
Only when your heart is true
Till you learn to trust yourself
Put your trust in someone else
