The following comments are biased as I am a big Nick Cave fan. I really like this meloncolic song as it reminds me it is about the complexities of human relationships and how they can and do change. Being a person who likes to help people out and give "people the benefit of the doubt" can leave me exposed to people abusing my trust. I have thought of some people as friends and it turns out that they are just "using you". This song is about the human condition. I have to be careful not to do the above to others - I do not think I'm the type, but, I am human too.

You're correct. To me it's a spouse that scorned him after some help was offered.
