Well, I feel tears wellin up cold and deep
Inside like my hearts sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
That I may never shake.
Now you might say that I was takin it hard
That he wrote me off with a call
But dont you wager that Ill hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl
Now the race is on
And here comes pride
Up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holdin back
Theyre tryin not to fall
LMy hearts out of the runnin
True love scratched for anothers sake
The race is on and it looks like
Heartaches and the winner loses all.
— Instrumental —
One day I ventured in love never once suspectin
What the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And findin that youre gone from me
Cause theres ache and pain in my heart
For today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win him
And I came out in second place.
Now the race is on
And here comes pride
Up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holdin back
Theyre tryin not to fall
LMy hearts out of the runnin
True love scratched for anothers sake
The race is on and it looks like
Heartaches and the winner loses all…
