Song: Walkin Away
Artist: Craig David
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 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
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
coz I saw them with my own eyes
you should’ve been more wise
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 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

“So who are you going to believe? Me? Or them? Because, forgive the blatant honesty, you are being fuckin insane right now.”
“You’re saying I’m stupid for listening to my friends who are obviously looking out for me?? Gods, thank you Jeremy. That’s helping this process right now!”
“You DO believe them, then? Great. Just great! How bloody brilliant. Go on, then. Go with your girl friends and have a couple of drinks by the pub and go fuck the first bloke you see. You’ve got what it takes, yeah? Go on!”
“And you dare talk to me like that! When you’re the one who they’ve seen out and about with some daft bimbo parading around town like you rule the night. I love how your turning this on me. Brilliant. Brilliant.”
tick tick tick. inhale. exhale. tap. repeat.
“You know who that was. Why is this even an issue? We’re not twelve, you and I both know what we’ve gotten ourselves into. How many times have I got to say it, huh, Chels?”
puff. chug. gulp. repeat.
“Tell me this,” he asked.
“What?”
“Do you enjoy breaking my heart like this?”
“Oh for fucks sake –“
“Honesty hasn’t got me too far with you. And i don’t get shit for keeping up with this. So what else have I got?”
"Me.”
“All of you?”
The pause and the silence were like knives jabbed and pulled out and then jabbed and pulled out again, over and over.
“That’s it. I’m gone.”
And he never looked back.
