Lyrics
Why does the sun go on shining
Questioning the persistence of the sun shining despite personal emotional turmoil.
Why does the sea rush to shore
Questioning the natural continuity of the sea rushing to shore despite personal heartbreak.
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Expressing disbelief that the world continues despite the personal perception that it has ended.
'Cause you don't love me any more
Attributing the end of the world to the absence of love from the person addressed.
Why do the birds go on singing
Raising the question of why birds continue to sing despite personal emotional distress.
Why do the stars glow above
Questioning the significance of stars glowing above amid personal heartbreak.
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Reiterating the disbelief that the world goes on despite the personal feeling of its end.
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder

Why everything's the same as it was
Questioning the persistence of sameness in life after a significant emotional loss.
I can't understand, no, I can't understand

How life goes on the way it does
Expressing bewilderment at how life continues despite the personal perception of its disruption.
Why does my heart go on beating
Questioning why the heart continues to beat despite emotional pain.
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Questioning the tears in the eyes despite the emotional suffering.
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Reiterating the disbelief that the world goes on despite personal emotional devastation.
It ended when you said goodbye
Affirming that the world ended for the singer when the person addressed said goodbye.
Why does my heart go on beating

Why do these eyes of mine cry
