How many times have I come to you

How many times have you taken me in

How have you never quite realized

That this will be nothing more than what it's been



Why is it that I return to the scene of the crime

Though there's nothing I need

Between the moments that linger before us

Haven't you wondered why I always leave



Let me

Be who I am

Let me

Leave while I can



You know love don't find

This sort of man

So just let me leave

While I can



How many times have I come to you

Beaten and broken and under attack

How can you look in my eyes and my heart

And not see that there's something I lack



Why is it that I'm as bad as I am

But I know that you'll never believe

Why do you still have to love me

When all I have done is to lie and deceive



Let me

Be who I am

Let me

Leave while I can



You know love don't find

This sort of man

So just let me leave

While I



Can't give you what you need

And I'm so tired that I can't breathe

And I don't know if you can see,

But my ship is goin' down



And I tried my best to be a man

So I set you free while I still can

Cause I can't seem to change who I am



So just let me

Be who I am

Oh, oh, let me

Leave while I can



You know love don't find

This sort of man

So just let me

Leave while I can
