It does seem like someone who he trusted hurt him and abused him, but he didn't realize it until they'd almost broke him. And how he'd thought that what was happening was hurting both of them, but it was only one-sided.

But there's another way to view this. It's still about putting faith in someone, but in a different manner. Like that he told someone something personal and painful about his life, and they used it to hurt him, or manipulate him. and he thought that they had experienced something similar. Pretty much the same concept, except this time in specifics.

The only other way I could see this is if someone he knew and trusted died and he felt hurt and abandoned by them because they went away and left him behind to be hurt. And disenchanted could be that the innocence of thinking that death can never happen to me was shattere and he's resentful because it brings in a new harshness to a reality that is hard enough as is. shrug Just an abstract view of the song meaning, which seems possible.

Bai y'all! Sox
