"I'll Step Aside" lyrics

I'll Step Aside

I'll step aside
For you if you don't want me
I'll step aside
For you if you don't care
I'm not the one
To cling to a broken promise
I'll step aside
For someone else somewhere

I'll step aside
For you if you don't want me
I'll step aside
For you and you alone
And when I'm gone
Just promise you'll remember
That I was once
Your darling, all your own

Before you go
Please answer this one question
As you gaze
Into my tear dimmed eyes
Can it be true
You never cared about me
And all those things
You told me were just lies?

I'll step aside
For you if you don't want me
I'll step aside
For you and you alone
And when I'm gone
Just promise you'll remember
That I was once
Your darling, all your own
