I've heard an expression about alcohol and drugs that they "make good servants but bad masters." In other words, they are usually enjoyable up until a certain point untill they start to take over and you become addicted or reliant on them. So I can't help but think that this song is about an alcoholic or any other sort of addict whose wife has finally had enough and kicked him out. He's obviously talking to another side of him (we're still one in the same, just you and me). I think that other side of him has to be addiction x. Alcoholism, drugs, gambling, whatever the vice or addiction, was the good servant that he finally realizes has turned unfaithful. It betrayed him somehow and not even he seems to know what was actually done to lady that made him send him away.
