"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?

Chorus
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?

Chorus

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 to be a man,
So I'll set you free while I still can,
Cause I can't seem to change who I am...

Chorus

Yeah just,
Let me leave while I can...
Let me leave, let me leave..."
