Sun is shining birds are singing in schoolyards bright flags unfurl Things look so normal but looks are deceiving today is the end of the world People are laughing talking and laughing while I am losing my girl Why are they laughing they should be grieving today is the end of the world The world ended when you walked through that door leaving me all alone I learned something that I never knew before your heart can't die while you live on Live on in darkness live on in sorrow while this old hurt takes a whirl What good is living my love is leaving today is the end of the world [ choir ] What good is living my love is leaving today is the end of the world What good is living my love is leaving today is the end of the world
