I feel tears wellin up cold, deep inside
Like my hearts sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
That I may never shake
You might say that I was taking it hard
Since you wrote me off with a call
But dont you wager that Ill hide in sorrow
When I may lay right down and bawl
Now the race is on
And here comes pride in the backstretch
Heartaches goin to the inside
My tears are holdin back
Theyre tryin not to fall
My hearts out of the runnin
True loves scratched for anothers sake
The race is on and it looks like heartache
And the winner loses all
One day I ventured in love
Never once suspectin what the final result would be
And how I lived in fear of waking up each morning
Finding that youre gone from me
Theres ache and pain in my heart
For today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
And I came out in second place
Now the race is on
And here comes pride in the backstretch
Heartaches goin to the inside
My tears are holdin back
Theyre tryin not to fall
My hearts out of the runnin
True loves scratched for anothers sake
The race is on and it looks like heartache
And the winner loses all
Now the race is on
And here comes pride in the backstretch
Heartaches goin to the side
My tears are holdin back
Theyre tryin not to fall
My hearts out of the runnin
True loves scratched for anothers sake
The race is on and it looks like heartache
And the winner loses all
