Standing at the door,
Lord knows I want a girl to stay
But we both know I gots to walk away
We've been here so many times before
Can't take the arguments no more
So many nights I spent here laying the night away,
so
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
I live everything my way
And when I go wrong, I pay
Compromises I never make,
I can't do it I
wouldn't sleep at night
And if I get to know myself a little,
how dare I look you in the eye?
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
I'm tired, see?
I don't want to defend myself from you anymore
You know
that my dignity is my freedom
I'd allow you to darken the sides between us
You should understand that you're wrong about me
I hate lies,
the half-truths How dare I look you in the eye?
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
