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 [ steel - guitar ] Before you go please answer this one question As you gaze into my tear dimmed eyes Cannot be true you never cared about me And all those things you told were just lies I'll step aside for you if you don't want me...
