Let Me Leave Lyrics
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
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
Though there's nothing I need
Between the moments that linger before us
Haven't you wondered why I always leave
Be who I am
Let me
Leave while I can
This sort of man
So just let me leave
While I can
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
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
Be who I am
Let me
Leave while I can
This sort of man
So just let me leave
While I
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
So I set you free while I still can
Cause I can't seem to change who I am
Be who I am
Oh, oh, let me
Leave while I can
This sort of man
So just let me
Leave while I can

This is definitely a song about a man who just can't commit and a woman who believes that there's still some hope between them. I think it's a well-crafted song. I like to think of this song related to Gavin's Song. Likely, it's of no relation but my theory does fit.
Thankfully artist can write from both a place of truth and an imagined situation. Marc is still happily married with 4 kids. Gotta love a stable home and family to come back to after being out on the road.
