To me, this song is about the narrator having depression and how this affects someone very close to him. Despite their best attempts to help him, he ends up killing himself because he can't take life with this illness anymore, making this song a suicide note to them.
The first two and the fourth verses could be about how his life has become since he became depressed and what that does to him. The person close to him wants him to get better and tries to support him. But with things like 'Look at me, there's no denying' he's trying to tell them that it won't get better.
'Leaving this worry town' to me means that he ended the miserable life he was living.
Lines like 'Please no grieving, my love, understand?' could mean that he doesn't want them to feel guilty or sad, because he doesn't blame them for what he did to himself in the end. Maybe he even feels grateful for what they tried to do, but it didn't work for him anymore.
