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 meant to end

Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine
When somebody's heart gets broken, usually it's mine
I don't wanna take the chance of being hurt again
'Cause 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
When somebody's heart gets broken, usually it's mine
I don't wanna take the chance of being hurt again
'Cause 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
