Changes

The speaker is grieving the end of a close relationship. He feels unhappy and lonely, and recognizes that he let someone he loved go. As the lyrics continue, sadness is joined by regret: he understands the loss more clearly now, but cannot undo what happened. The repeated phrase “going through changes” suggests a difficult period of emotional adjustment.

Calling the woman “the best friend” he ever had emphasizes that the relationship meant more than romance; it also included companionship. The image of his heart being “blinded” suggests that strong feelings, or perhaps poor judgment, kept him from seeing what was happening. “Love went astray” means that their love lost its way or came to an end, while “last goodbyes” makes the separation feel final.

The lyrics do not explain exactly why the relationship ended. The line about the world having its “evil way” could mean that outside circumstances damaged their happiness, but it may also be a vague way of expressing helplessness. The speaker takes some responsibility, too, saying he let her go and wishing he could change the past. His grief sounds intense, though the repeated refrain may also imply that change is an ongoing process rather than a single moment.
