I'd rather leave while I'm in love

While I still believe the meaning of the word

I'll keep my dreams and just pretend

That you and I were never meant to end

Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine

Somebody's heart gets broken

And usually it's mine

I don't wanna take the chance of being hurt again

And you and I can't say goodbye

So, if you wake and find me gone

Oh, babe, just carry on

You see, I need my fantasy

I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love, ooh

Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine

Somebody's heart gets broken, yeah

And usually it's mine

I don't wanna take the chance of being hurt again

And you and I, we can't say goodbye

So, if you wake and find me gone

Hey, babe, just carry on

You see, I need my fantasy

I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love, oh, oh

I'd rather leave while I'm in love
