Walking Away
NODe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm walking away from troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away from 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
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 troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away from 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 realize
I'm not like them other guys
'Cause I saw them with my own eyes
You should've been more wise, yeah
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 troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh, to find a better day
I'm walking away from troubles in my life




I'm walking away, oh, to find a better day
(I'm walking away)
