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 endToo 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 goodbyeSo 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, oohToo 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 goodbyeSo 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
