I mostly agree with sofa king. I think the song is about a girl who was raped as a child and is now in a relationship, but cannot get close to her partner because of the abuse she suffered.
"You scream don't look, you scream don't touch" -- A guy is describing how his girlfriend's rape has affected their physical (as well as mental) relationship.
"And everytime I think about your voice, I start to tremble" -- He really loves her, but he can't stand to see her like this.
"And anytime you need a shoulder, I'm right here, you've just gotta find a way" -- He wants to comfort her, but she has to "find a way" to want support.
I also think that the musical break with the slow music can represent her making peace with the fact that she is scarred, or the guy realizing that HE really can't help her, but God possibly can ("Oh God please help us, get her out of this").
