I think it's simple, but I think people here have misinterpreted it grossly (would have happened)
it's about trying to get through society the only possible way, but covering up what you really are. He (not personally implying Trent, but who knows) tries to meet his goals by "slipping by" with a few lies here and there. Everyone has to do it, maybe he has to do it more because he isn't "normal" by others standards (as example, if you like being alone, people single you out as strange) so he has to "patch up the cracks and the holes that I HAVE to hide"
Sooner or later people figure it out, because people are nosey and the more you get into their business the more they must know about you. They figure it out just when it hurts the most, and you're instantly placed in the bad books.
The second verse seals it IMO, he is saying that he's been called out for who he is, he tried to believe he could be what others wanted, but it really didn't change anything (he's who he is, that can't be changed). So he can go back to where he belongs (alone maybe?)
Anyhow, other people don't mind being complete fakes, lead around by trends and other bullshit. And to those people reading:
