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 that I return to the scene of a 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
Bleeding 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
So just let me leave while I can
You know love don't find this sort of man
So just let me leave while I can
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 going down
And I tried my best just 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, woah
So just let me leave while I can, oh no
You know love don't find this sort of man
So just let me leave while I can
Let me leave while I can
Let me leave, let me leave
