This Whirling Storm

More than hurtful words, I hate this silence
I wish I could calm this whirling storm in my heart
But I can't say that it's all going to be alright
And I won't make you promises that I can't keep
I don't want to fly, I don't want to change water to wine
I'm not asking you for a miracle
I'm just asking for something to hold on to...
I know that you feel alone, such that words cannot describe
And in your life there has always been heartache and loss
You have never felt like you quite belong anywhere
You are always looking toward some unknown distant horizon
Hoping to find a cure for all your pain, for all your wounds
You just wander helplessly through your life
You are subject to whatever tiny whim catches your fancy
Walking unpredictability...
I got too damn close to you, got under your skin
And when that happened, you got scared, you lost your nerve
You hurt me before I could hurt you, a precautionary measure
So, I don't really know where that leaves us
Maybe it's just time to call a spade a spade
And call you a fool...
