The song is about how hard it is to let go of sin. Sin becomes familiar to us, and we hold on to it in fear of the unknown.
[Verse 1]
So here we are at the end now
I need to leave
But I only wanna stay with you
You never asked to be the one
To set me free
Another mask you wore
That only I could see
[Chorus]
Let me take you when I go, when I go
I don't wanna do this on my own, on my own
I'm breaking free but of these chains
Oh, let this one remain
Let me take you when I go
[Verse 2]
I can still feel you here
Now in this cage
Every link, another piece of you I saved
Afraid to open up the door
To who I was before
And if I let go of these chains
Now will I float away?
Can I just hold on?
[Chorus]
Ohh, Let me take you when I go, when I go
I don't wanna do this on my own, on my own
I'm breaking free but of these chains
Oh, let this one remain
Let me take you when I go
