Walking Away
Craig David Lyrics

I'm walking away
I'm leaving behind the negativity and problems in my life

From the troubles in my life
From the difficult and stressful issues that are causing me pain

Oh to find a better day
In hopes of discovering a happier and more fulfilling future

Sometimes some people get me wrong
Sometimes people misunderstand my words or actions

When it's something I've said or done
If my words or actions are the reason for the misinterpretation

Sometimes you feel there is no fun
Sometimes things feel joyless and unenjoyable

That's why you turn and run
That's why one might flee the situation

But now I truly realize
Now I understand completely

Some people don't wanna compromise
Some individuals are unwilling to reach a middle ground

Well I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies
I witnessed them telling falsehoods firsthand

And well I don't wanna live a lie
I don't want to deceive myself or others

Too many sleepless nights
Too many nights spent without rest due to worry or stress

Not mentioning the fights
Not to mention the arguments and conflicts

I'm sorry to say lady
Regrettably, I must inform you

Well I'm so tired baby
I'm exhausted, my dear

Things you say you're driving me away
Your hurtful words are pushing me further from you

Whispers in the powder room baby
Gossip and rumors that are circulating in private conversation

Don't listen to the games they play
Don't believe the manipulative tactics they employ

Girl I thought you'd realize
I thought you understood

I'm not like them other guys
I'm different from those other men

You should've been more wise
You ought to have been more discerning

oh I'm gone, I'm gonna find a better day
I'm leaving now to pursue a brighter future

I tried to show you baby
I attempted to demonstrate to you, my dear

from the troubles in my life baby
From the issues and struggles plaguing my existence, my dear
