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 keep my dreams and just pretend
That you and I were never meant to end

To 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 look and find me gone
Hey babe just carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love

To 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 look and find me gone
Hey babe just carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love
I'd rather leave while I'm in love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
