I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love

I'D RATHER LEAVE WHILE I'M IN LOVE

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 good-bye

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

oh baby carry on you see I need my fantasy
I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love
