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 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 realise some people don't wanna compromise well I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies and well I don't wanna live a lie, too many sleepless nights not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say lady 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 Well I'm so tired baby things you say you're driving me away whispers in the powder room baby don't listen to the games they play girl I thought you'd realise I'm not like them other guys coz I saw them with my own eyes you should've been more wise and well I don't wanna live a lie, too many sleepless nights not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say lady 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
