Seems to me there is only two options. 1) A prayer to God. 2) A song written to a good friend or a lover. I tend to think the former for several reasons. First, the phrase "restore my soul" is used... a rather biblical term (i.e. Psalm 23). Second, it doesn't seem to indicate a romantic relationship, and the song is kept very gender neutral. Third, it's the hurt that "only you" can take away... if it is a romantic interest or a good friend it could mean that he knows them on that deep of a level, a deep sort of trust, but even that seems picturesque of a spiritual relationship with God. Also, there is a sort of deep understanding that there is a telepathic link, or something similar (such as the phrase "you understand the chaos in my head" or the phrase "you understand every word I say." But who knows... it could very well be a song written to his pet.
