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 are never gonna 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 goodbye So if you wake and find me gone Oh, baby 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 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, baby carry on You see I need my fantasy I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love
