Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life, I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day, I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life, I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day, I'm walking away
[Verse 2]
Sometimes some people get me wrong
When it's something I've said or done
Sometimes you feel there is no fun
That's why you turn and run
But now I truly realize
Some people don't wanna compromise
Well, I saw them with my own eyes
Spreadin' those lies, and
Well, I don't wanna live a lie
Too many sleepless nights
Not mentionin' the fights
I'm sorry to say, lady
[Verse 3]
I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life, I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day, I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life, I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day, I'm walking away
[Verse 4]
Well, I'm so tired, baby
Things you say, you're drivin' me away
Whispers in the powder room, baby
Don't listen to the games they play
Girl, I thought you'd realize
I'm not like them other guys
'Cause I saw them with my own eyes
You should've been more wise, babe
Well, I don't wanna live a lie
Too many sleepless nights
Not mentionin' the fights
I'm sorry to say, lady
[Verse 5]
I'm walking away (Girl I'm walkin' away)
From the troubles in my life, I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day, I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life, I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day, I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life, I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day, I'm walking away
From the troubles in my life, I'm walking away
Oh, to find a better day, I'm walking away
