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 above? 
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 ev'rything's the same as it was. 
I can't understand, no I can't understand 
How life goes on the way it does 

Why does my heart go on beating? 
Why do these eyes of mine cry? 
Don't they know know it's the end of the world? 
It ended when you said goodbye 

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