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 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'll 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      Just let me leave while I can   Let me leave, let me leave
