I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love 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 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.
