Yes, in this context, "a lot" is similar to "hard" or "difficult". "A lot" in this song lyric is referring to to the problems of life and love being a lot to deal with, which is the same thing as being "hard" or "difficult". Here's a few examples of "a lot" in similar contexts: Ex: Raising kids as a single parent is a lot. Ex: I don't know how to deal with all this stress, it's a lot.
