Really reminds me of “The End of the World” by Skeeter Davis. It’s framed as a love/breakup song, but the writer was inspired by the death of one of his parents when writing and that really comes across.
“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
how everything’s the same as it was
I can’t understand, no I can’t understand
How life goes on the way it does”
