Walking Away
Craig Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 realize
Some people don't wanna compromise
Well, I saw them with my own eyes
Spreading those lies, yeah

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
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 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
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

Overall Meaning

Craig David's song "Walking Away" is about leaving behind the troubles in his life and moving on to a better future. The lyrics speak to a person who has been misunderstood, mistreated, and lied about, causing them to feel isolated and alone. The song is a metaphor for the journey of moving on from negativity and finding inner peace.


The first verse establishes the theme of leaving behind the troubles in life and finding a better day. The second verse speaks to the pain of being misunderstood and the conflict that can arise when trying to compromise with others. The chorus repeats the theme of walking away from these troubles to find a better future.


The third verse adds a romantic element, with the singer expressing frustration with a partner who is driving him away with their behavior. He realizes that he is not like other men that his partner may have been with before, and urges her to be wiser in her choices. The chorus is repeated once more to emphasize the idea of moving on and finding a better future.


Overall, "Walking Away" is a powerful anthem of self-discovery and the courage to let go of negativity in order to find a better future. It speaks to anyone who has experienced pain or hardship and is looking for a way to move forward.
