I'd rather leave while I'm in love
While I still believe the meaning of the word
I keep my dreams and just pretend
That you and I are 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
Don't want to take the chance
Of being hurt again
And you and I can't say good-bye

So if you wake and find me gone
Baby 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 usually
It's mine
Don't want to take
The chance of being hurt again
And you and I can't say good-bye
So if you wake and find me gone
Baby 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
