Don't play pop music, no
You know I hate pop music
Just sing amazing godless grace
I don't wear bright colours, oh
You know I hate bright colours
I never liked you for the way you dressed
Anyway
Goodbye lovers and friends
So sad to leave you
When they lie and say
"This is not the end"
You can laugh as if
We're still together
You can laugh about it all
Anyway
I hope you didn't bring flowers
Hope you didn't write a poem
Hope you remember every fight
I know I could be noxious
Or occasionally cruel
But only to the ones
I loved
So goodbye lovers and friends
So sad to leave you
When they lie and say
"This is not the end"
You can laugh as if
We're still together
You can laugh about it all
Don't get inventory
Don't fake your memory
Don't give me virtues that I never had
Don't get sychophantal
We never were sentimental
I know that I took more than I ever gave
I don't need to be forgiven
But a moment from the living
Yeah that's the only thing I ask
So don't play pop music, no
You know I hate pop music
Just sing amazing godless grace
So goodbye lovers and friends
It's so sad to leave you
When they lie and say
"This is not the end"
You can laugh as if
We're still together
But this really is the end
You know I hate pop music
Just sing amazing godless grace
I don't wear bright colours, oh
You know I hate bright colours
I never liked you for the way you dressed
Anyway
Goodbye lovers and friends
So sad to leave you
When they lie and say
"This is not the end"
You can laugh as if
We're still together
You can laugh about it all
Anyway
I hope you didn't bring flowers
Hope you didn't write a poem
Hope you remember every fight
I know I could be noxious
Or occasionally cruel
But only to the ones
I loved
So goodbye lovers and friends
So sad to leave you
When they lie and say
"This is not the end"
You can laugh as if
We're still together
You can laugh about it all
Don't get inventory
Don't fake your memory
Don't give me virtues that I never had
Don't get sychophantal
We never were sentimental
I know that I took more than I ever gave
I don't need to be forgiven
But a moment from the living
Yeah that's the only thing I ask
So don't play pop music, no
You know I hate pop music
Just sing amazing godless grace
So goodbye lovers and friends
It's so sad to leave you
When they lie and say
"This is not the end"
You can laugh as if
We're still together
But this really is the end

I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned how it could be about how his opinion of his career. As in, how he had to change how his music originally was to get popular/because his manager told him to. The first two paragraphs talk about change, then the chorus is about how his fame disallows him to meet his family/friends.
