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 go 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 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

SPOKEN:
Why does my heart go on beating?

(Why does my heart beat?)

SPOKEN:
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
