Analysis of Fourth Stanza

What Have I become?
My sweetest Friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

This stanza is repeating the beginning of the beginning of the second stanza.  I feel this is done for emphasis, but also because it adds meaning to the previous lyrics, where the narrator talks about how people have become "someone else" which relates to "everyone I know goes away in the end".  I think it also adds meaning to the last stanza, in which the narrator talks about the uplifting part of his life and the point where the song turns around for the good.
