Walking Away
Craig David · Greatest Hits [2008]
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 life,
Too many steepless 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
Cause I saw them with my own eyes,
You should've been more wise and
Well I don't wanna live a lie,
Too many steepless 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
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 life,
Too many steepless 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
Cause I saw them with my own eyes,
You should've been more wise and
Well I don't wanna live a lie,
Too many steepless 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
