Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We made it final today
I gave you all I had, you made your getaway
All the love we once made
Turned to memories today
[Verse 2]
I left the courtroom, and went straight to the church
I hit my knees, and told God how much I hurt
There's nothing left of my heart
It's gonna be so hard to make a new start
[Chorus]
Cause' today my world slipped away
We buried the plans that we made
And, tonight, I'm alone and afraid
Cause' today my world slipped away
[Verse 3]
All my friends say I'll make it alright
I'll recover, and start a new life
But, that'll be so hard to do
'Cause livin' ain't worth livin' without you
[Chorus]
'Cause today my world slipped away
We buried the plans that we made
And, tonight, I'm alone and afraid
'Cause today my world slipped away
'Cause today my world slipped away
