This is maybe an odd choice for this thread, bereft of the themes found in typical love songs. This one, instead is a song of vulnerability, and finding strength in another. The first part reminds me of the hope which a place like Equestria offers, and the shelter from the trials and hardships of this world which it provides.
The second calls attention to the difference between the ways ponies and humans do things, and how that's helped to create a world so much better than this one. Most particularly though, all the things which Twilight has done for me, the love, guidance and comfort she has given.
The last part is similar to the previous, but focuses more on the needs of the receiver, than the actions of the giver.
Lay me low, lay me low, lay me low
Where no-one can see me
Where no-one can find me
Where no-one can hurt me
Show me the way, help me to say
All that I need to
All that I needed you gave me
All that I wanted you made me
When I stumbled you saved me
Lay me low...
Throw me a line, help me to find
Something to cling to
When the loneliness haunts me
When the bitterness taunts me
When the emptiness eats me.
Lay me low...
