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
And 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, babe, just carry on
You see, I need my fantasy
I still believe it`s best to leave while I`m in love, ooh
Too 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 goodbye
So, 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
