To me this song is about mental illnesses. People with mental illnesses keep it hidden as much as possible from the outside world; it's their "dark side".
Getting close to someone can be difficult and "If I show it to you now will it make you run away?" describes exactly how it feels when you're undecided whether you feel like you can show someone.
"Will you stay, even if it hurts, even if I try to push you out, will you return" For me describes when you've told someone and you warn them that when you get into a bad way, you are likely to push them away and it's for their own good. You don't want them to go through what you do so its for their own good that you push them out, but it makes you wonder whether if/when you push them out will they come back to you?
As soon as I first heard this song I had to stop and have a cry because of how I view this song. Suffering with mental illnesses is bad enough without having people running away from you because of your "dark side".
