I see you standing there outside the windows of my heart
So cold and shivering there in your world that is so dark
I wish that I could set you free from all your insecurities
But you threw away the key when you locked the door
I tried to love you, I tried to keep you from harm
But I might as well be holding the wind in my arms
Oh, I can't give you shelter when you are the storm
There is a wind tonight that blows and chills me to the bone
Here by the fireside even the heat can't keep me warm
I'm haunted by your troubled soul that rages out of control
I had to let you go, had to let you go
I tried to love you, I tried to keep you from harm
But I might as well be holding the wind in my arms
Oh, I can't give you shelter when you are the storm
Sometimes I lie here and wonder if you'll ever change
Then I hear the lightning and thunder oh, and the rain
Oh I tried to love you and I tried to keep you from harm
But I might as well be holding the wind in my arms
Oh, I can't give you shelter, you are the storm
Oh, I can't give you shelter, you are the storm
