Another Emery song about sex, it seems. The Chorus is obviously about deeply regretting something. If you take it in context with the rest of the song, you see that he regrets having sex with a girl and getting her pregnant.

"Let's go all the way. This dark road will lead right where you want to be, you're driving, so take the wheel." The decision to have sex lead her down the wrong path, but it was her decision to make.

The verse that begins with "Your conscience is pleading..." is about the girl considering getting an abortion.
