"don't mean to scare you but i've i've not been sleeping lately and phone calls aren't doing much to help so if it's all the same i'd just ask to never have to offer explanation or excuse again"

I think this part is about being depressed and no one understanding. usually anxiety and depression lead to sleep loss, and he's tired of having to explain what he's feeling to someone who can't comprehend what he's feeling

"we make believe every day we make our lives seem like they're still worth living when we find out in the end it's only us that we've been kidding"

he's tired of hearing about how GREAT! life is at this point. he thinks it's all kind of a joke, and he can't see the point of going on. i think it's kind of an existentialist view intended here meaning the only point in living is to continue the existence of the human race and individual lives are pointless.

"so find the darkest place and search under blankets for me smothering myself in this darkness"

feeling depressed, IF you want to find him, he's in the darkest place imaginable.

"i am lying down tonight and you're not lying with me but honesty doesn't sit so well on you some things you just can't fake"

the girl can't fake an understanding, or pretend to care about what he's going through so she's moved on.

"just another stupid drama that no one notices but you and you only take an interest when there's nothing else to do"

he has no real reason to be depressed and no one really cares how he feels, except her when she's bored and has nothing else to do.

"but you won't mind wait for all of it i can't go wait for all of this but you won't mind you wait for all of it i can't go and wait for all of this"

he can't just wait around for this bad feeling to pass.

I think the song is called "If you're bored" because the girl he's telling this shit too doesn't really care so he doesn't want to bother her with his problems unless she has nothing else to do. There's might be a little more to the song that I'm not seeing, or maybe i'm reading too much into it. whatev. amazing song.
