There is a thing that I know that does it better than me
But I haven't wanted to be all the things I could be

And I'd bash it all away if I could
If I believed in it it'd make me good

Stay close to me and I will keep you safe
Nothing is important to me anymore except for you
Don't let a mere thing cover the truth

I am good
I am good

    It's about losing the will to do anything, losing your goals and dreams (or maybe not having any in the first place), and holding on to love because it gives you meaning and something to live for.

    The last lines sounded to me like: "Don't lie to me, I think I've earned the truth- I am good, I am good."
