I think it could be about either a person or an internal struggle. The song could be taken literally in the sense that a certain person keeps bringing them down (and they tend to let themselves be brought down ... would assume a "toxic" relationship). The lines quite obvious show that the narrator is speaking to someone (whether that is metaphorical or literal is up to us).
For this could easily be about an internal mental illness (such as depression). That is, they fight it, don't want it to be part of their life, but it keeps coming back and sometimes we invite depression in by not doing enough to keep it out (manage it properly).
Not really sure which way it goes for me ... may depend on my mood (I personally enjoy the internal struggle).
Although I have a child with an ex who I always have to deal with ... but would definitely rather not (so could take it literally too)!
