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
