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
