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 want to 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 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 want to 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
