Let Me Leave

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 canHow 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 ICan'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' downAnd 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 amSo 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 canJust let me leave while I can
Let me leave, let me leave
