I think it is about someone who cheated on their significant other, but is absolutely madly in love with her and feels horrible for what he has done. All he wants to do is make her feel better and do right by her. He is trying to figure out the right way to love her because he knows he doesn't do it right. He compares his wrong-doings to the darkness having arms, and her as being pure (they ain't got you). But he saying "but I have you too" shows his astonishment that he still has someone so pure and beautiful even after what he has done. The song is hope for the future. Maybe in the future, the darkness will loosen its grip on him--Things will be okay, he will do right by her and they will be happy.

I think that's a good interpretation.
The song struck a chord with me and I interpreted it as the darkness representing depression and the singer is reflecting on how it makes them hurt and push away those around him but wants to do better to be happy with his love so as not to let his darkness grab hold of her too. The verse that stood out the most to me was the whole sixth stanza. "And although I stab chaotically,
It hurts no one but me"
