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 Usually it's mine
I don't wanna take the chance of being hurt again
And you and I can't say good-bye
So if you wake and find me gone
Well then just carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love
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 good-bye
So if you wake and find me gone
Ooh, babe just carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love
I'd rather leave while I'm in love
