Some suggestions:
1. Tell us in the first verse, with specificity, what she is afraid of. 2. In the pre-chorus, tell us why you can bear that burden. 3. Tell us how you will work together to keep the troubles at bey. 4. In the bridge, take the 1000 foot view about how the whole world deals with these troubles, and that is by finding their partner in battle, like you have. 5. The final verse shows how the troubles are behind and the new ones will be no trouble together.
These are just simple suggestions. Tell us a story WITH DETAILS, not just platitudes. Make it personal because by doing so you actually make it more universal. I know it seems counter intuitive, but humans are much the same and problems are rarely unique or unrelatable. Give us something to identify with and give us someone in the story to care about and root for. See how that can work?
Try implementing these things, and come back and shows us what you have!

I saw this back when it was first posted but thought I'd wait and see what transpired. Here's what I'd do with it.

Pre course If your worried about everything that could happen over time Put your heart away we'll use mine I always thought this was a great opener too... Brian has some good suggestions, but this doesn't have to be a "storyline" song; Too cliché, been done... I think the focus should simply be how "He" recognizes her tender heart, appreciates her tentative affection, and is ready to play the "long game" to earn her trust. Gary hits on that a bit with his "Carry me" lines... but, there's nothing here describing the relatable battle between desire and apprehension... the indecisive non-commitment. He's already committed enough for both of them; She just doesn't realize it yet. "Put your heart away, we'll use mine..." for a time Love is courageous by design
The journey is definitely more important than the destination...
