In my opinion, he feels like he is a burden to his significant other. That's pretty much what the word cumberseome means...heavy or burdensome.
He has done some things in the past that caused her great pain, and they can't seem to get through it. Even though they may not talk about it, the tension and mistrust is always there.
When he says "She calls me Goliath and I wear the David mask", I think he's saying that she still sees the things he's done wrong, despite the fact that he's trying to change for the better. This is also referenced in the "She remembers bridges, burns them to the ground" part.
She lives in fear of him hurting her again, which is how she justifies holding onto the past.
She loves him, but yet she distances herself from him as a protective mechanism.
As far as the arrow and the cross, I think the arrow refers to war and the cross referes to reconciliation. Once again, he's saying they have tried to reconcile (the cross) but the war (the arrow) remains.
He feels bad for what he's done, and ultimately like he doesn't deserve her. He feels ilke walking away is the only answer, even though it causes him great pain and turmoil.
