Verse 1

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

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

  {- progression 4x}

While I can

Verse 2

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 2

Let me

 Be who I am

Let me

 Leave while I can

 You know love don't find

 This sort of man

Bridge

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

Chorus 3

 So just let me

 Be who I am

 Oh, oh, let me

 Leave while I can

C#m /E /E /D# /C#

You know love don't find

 So just let me
