This is my favorite fall out boy song. and knowing fall out boy it could mean anything. I think it means that once you've let something slip there's always someone there who won't let it go, even though it's a dead issue.

This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
But we never stood a chance
And I'm not sure if it matters
If you are the shores, I am the waves begging for big moons
I’m mailing letters to addresses in a ghost town
(your secret's out)


[i think this means that they have had so many arguments about how they werent gonna last. and how now its like nothin to hear any more(?) and the whole "if youu are the shores, I am the waves begging for big moons" I think is about him wanting to just, crush her, like he was. because at a beach, when there's a full moon, the waves rise. anyways. "im mailing letters to adresses in a ghost town" to me means that he's sending letters to adreses where no one lives. and they are most likely about how he found her out.]

I know this hurts, it was meant to (it was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't matter

[just a little correction, I think its know, not matter that's what my interp. Is about]
[the chorus, to me, means that he knows he's hurting her, and, obviously, he's trying to. Its what he was meaning to do. He exposed her, and the crazy part is that its either not a big deal to him or to anybody. and its his little secret she doesn't know.]

[thats all I got so far, please email me at shadowbeasty@yahoo.com if you think I'm off or if you have anything to add on. Thanks]
