The only lyrics I know are "why do the stars go on shining? why does the see rush to shore? dont they know its the end of the world coz you dont love me anymore?" or something similar to that.

"The End Of The World" by Skeeter Davis.
You're right, it's very old - from 1962, in fact.
The lyrics are:
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 any more
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 everything'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 it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

That would be " The End of the World" By Skeeter Davis.
I too love the film Girl Interrupted. It makes so much sense, and i can relate very well to it.

Yep, it's called "The End of the World" by Skeeter Davis. Out in late late 1960's or about 1970. I have this on 8-track.
Don't they know, it's the end of the world. It ended when I lost your love......"
