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 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 ......
