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 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 want to compromise Well I saw them with my own eyes Spreading those lies, yeah Well I don't want to 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 Well I'm so tired baby Of 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 realized 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 want to 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
