I believe the guy in the song is trying to alleviate his girl's fears and insecurites
He's made mistakes and wonders if he can make up for it
He is trying to convince her, but it's not entirely his fault,
it's her failings/insecurities fears, but he can't help taking it upon himself that it must be solely his fault for the mistakes he's made
Then he wonders if it's his fault for not making enough money, AND for being such a loser (If I wasn't just somebody Like Me)
