This is only my personal interpretation here, but I have an odd feeling he's kind of expressing his disbelief towards Pete Wentz's 'honesty' in his lyrics:
"Hear you got your troubles or so I've been told
Maybe just a couple but I'm not quite sold"
-obviously everyone hears about Pete's problems but Patrick isn't quite convinced.
"All my friends go to bed dreaming up a reason they should weep"
-he feels like Pete kind of dreams up why he should be depressed in the way he is.
"And all my friends go to the ends of the earth for secrets they don't wanna keep"
-Pete acts like he doesn't want to have these 'secrets' but tries so hard to make them for himself.
"Well, this is my confession: yes, yes
This is me confessin': god bless
The sad and selfish--stay helpless"
-here he is confessing - the sad and selfish (Pete acts so depressed but is a massive media whore) stay helpless (it's not that you can't be helped, but you won't let anyone help you).
Anyway, not really an in depth interpretation but this is what I always think of when I hear this song, maybe it reflects the fall out (hey hey) between Pat and Pete.
I'm a massive fan of Fall Out Boy and Patrick by the way so please don't think this is some personal attack.
