Now that you've found yourself losing your mind
Are you here again?
Findin' that what you once thought was real

Perhaps he and the woman have reconciled after she left him for someone else (or just plain cheated on him) and that relationship went awry. They still love each other enough to forgive one another but their love just not the same the second time around.

How can I place you above me?
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you
I believe in you

I feel my doubts
Wishing that maybe in a year or two
we could laugh and let it all out

Excellent interpretation. I think you've gone into more detail about the nature of the relationship than the lyrics can confirm, but the general thrust is right. She's made herself love him, and he thinks he believes in her, but he's been hurt by her and still harbours doubts.
