Today My World Slipped Away Lyrics

We made it final today
I gave you all I had, you made your get away
all the love we once made
turned to memories today

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 going to 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 I'm so afraid
cause today my world slipped away

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The singer here seems to have broken up finally with someone that he loved very much. He told God how much it hurt him, and prayed, and then everyone told him he will get over the girl and be fine, but he says without her life isn't really worth living for him, and nobody seems to understand that fact. They broke up and he was supposed to be starting again, but he can't really because inside he still loves her.
