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
 When you don't love me anymore

 Why does my heart go on beating
 Why do these eyes of mine 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
 And I can't understand, no I can't understand
 Why life goes on the way it does

 Why do the birds go on singing
 Why do the stars shine above
 Don't they know it's the end of the world
 It ended when I lost your love


 Don't they know it's the end of the world
 It ended when you said goodbye
