-Why why is it so hard
Expressing difficulty in trusting others.
For me to trust someone
Acknowledging a challenge in lowering emotional barriers.
And lower my guard
Admitting to causing emotional pain in the past.
I've got to admit
Recognizing the need to be vulnerable in love.

Is loving me hard
Pondering the difficulty of being loved.

I'm a lover not a fighter
Identifying as a lover, not a fighter, suggesting a preference for peace in relationships.
All our problems we'll make it through
Believing that all problems in the relationship can be overcome.
Loves amazing maybe dangerous
Highlighting the dual nature of love—amazing yet potentially dangerous.
Never to be separated
Expressing a desire for an inseparable bond in love.
You got me and I got you
