Lyrics

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
