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
