I guess it could be about an ex, but I think it has to do with old friends. I'm given this idea because he mentions his small town, and so I feel like he's drawing back on old memories and how things aren't the same anymore. For a moment, he also wonders if he should take any of the blame for that.
Also, he says, "It's not everything I am, my dear, only friend." The connection to a friend can be obviously drawn from this. Also, I think he might be talking about his career as a musical artist. Maybe that helped create distance between him and his friend and he wants the friend to know it will be over some day, that it's not everything, and he's still the same person.
