Analysis of To Change and Rearrange
I lost a friend, it had to end.
A thought of mine today.
Her love for me was not to be
And went another way.
The pain within comes back again
When memories are strong
Enough to change and rearrange
The plans that don't belong.
Am I to blame with faults the same
That made her disappear?
I cannot find a peace of mind
Since answers are not clear.
