Personally, I think that the first three full stanzas (not including the two "Love like you" lines) could be the Crystal Gems singing their laments to Rose Quartz after she gave birth to Steven. This could take a bit so bear with me.

The first part" If I could begin to be,  Half of what you think of me, I could do about anything, I could even learn how to love" Is Garnet. In "The Answer" we see that even when Garnet 1.0 first meets Rose Quartz and Pearl, Rose has big expectations for Garnet's potential. So being half of what Rose thought of her could mean that Garnet could do anything. Love is one thing she is still trying to learn in its entirity and so she still believes that it is an incredible feat.

The next lines " When I see the way you act,  Wondering when I'm coming back,  I could do about anything,  I could even learn how to love like you." It is obvious that Pearl reveres Rose's character and actions so it that explains the part about the way she acts. My speculation is that there was a time when Pearl and Rose were separated and Rose was worried about when Pearl would be back. This could also be a point when Pearl was poofed and while she was regenerating, Rose was concerned with the amount of time Pearl took to reform. With this she says she can do anything knowing that Rose is looking out for her. Finally she wants to love like Rose. She is shown to be jealous (salty) about the way Rose seems to care about Greg and is lamenting her inability to eminate the same feelings completely.

Thirdly " I always thought I might be bad,  Now I'm sure that it's true,  'cause I think you're so good,  And I'm nothing like you." Is Amathyst for more than surface reasons. Since Amathyst was created in the kindergarden, we already know her feelings of hatred towards herself since she was a part of it. So she thought she might be bad. Now she believes this to be true because in Jailbreak she was announced to be "overcooked" or, we can assume, defective and therefore not like other Quartzs, specifically Rose Quartz. This would also explain why she is saying that you're so good, and she's nothing like Rose. Maybe because of what she was called by the Homeworld Gems she feels that she is even more detached from Rose because Amathyst equates Rose as strong and perfectly formed and herself as bad because she was defective.
