Song Lyrics

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 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

This has been said so many times that I`m not sure if it matters
But it must be said again that all us boys are just screaming
Into microphones for attention
Because we`re just so bored
We never knew that you would pick it apart, oh
I`m falling apart to songs about hips and hearts
(your secret`s 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

I used to obsess over living,
Now I only obsess over you
Tell me you`d like boys like me better
In the dark lying on top of you
This has been said so many times that I`m not sure if it matters <i>[x4]

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, don`t, don`t matter

[Talking:]
From day one I talked about getting out
But not forgetting about
How my worst fears are letting out
He said why put a new address
On the same old loneliness
When breathing just passes the time
Until we all just get old and die
Now talking`s just a waste of breath
And living`s just a waste of death
And why put a new address
On the same old loneliness
And this is you and me
And me and you
Until we`ve got nothing left
