why does the sun go on shining
why does the sea rush to shore
don't they know it's the end of the world
cause you don't love me anymore

why do the birds go on singing
why do the stars glow aglow
don't they know it's the end of the world
it ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand 
no I just can't understand
how life goes on the way it does

why does my heart go on beating
why does my heart beat
why do these eyes of mine cry
why do I cry

don't they know it's the end of the world
it ended when you said goodbye
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand
no I just can't understand
how life goes on the way it does

why does my heart go on beating
oh why do these eyes of mine cry
don't they know it's the end of the world
it ended when you said
oh it ended when you said
it ended when you said goodbye
