|
I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside |
|
like my heart's sprung a big break |
|
and a stab of lonliness 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 don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow |
|
when I may lay right down and bawl |
|
Chorus |
|
Now the race is on |
|
and here comes pride in the backstretch |
|
Heartaches goin' to the inside |
|
My tears are holdin' back |
|
They're tryin' not to fall |
|
My hearts out of the runnin' |
|
True love's scratched for another's 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 you're gone from me |
|
There's 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 |
|
Chorus |
|
Now the race is on |
|
and here comes pride in the backstretch |
|
Heartaches goin' to the inside |
|
My tears are holdin' back |
|
They're tryin' not to fall |
|
My hearts out of the runnin' |
|
True love's scratched for another's sake |
|
The race is on and it looks like heartache, |
|
and the winner loses all |
