Honestly, I'm pretty convinced that this song has to do with at least one of the people being in the closet.
"'Cause we do what we gotta do
We never even care about truth
(It's the truth, it's the truth)
Yeah, we do what we gotta do
We're only gonna care about us"
The speaker is accepting of this and knows, but is indifferent to what people may think and thinks that his friend should be too.
"And walk straight now"
Walk STRAIGHT. Pretened to be straight.
Beyond that, all of the constant mentions of "hiding", "secret", and the overall fear of people finding out the truth screams of closeted homosexuality. It almost sounds as if Gabe is a protective friend and not in a relationship with the other guy, but that's up in the air.
