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 may times I've seen
the rose die on the vine.
Somebody's heart gets broken,
usually it's mine.
I don't want to take the chance
of being hurt again,
and you and I can't say goodbye.
So if you wake and see 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.
