Lyrics

Well, I feel tears welling up cold And deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break And a stab of loneliness Sharp and painful That I may never shake And you might say that I was taking it hard Since she wrote me off with a call But don't you wager that I'll 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 holding back a tryin' not to fall My heart's out of the running True love scratched for another's sake The race is on And it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all One day, I ventured in love Never once suspecting what the final result would be How I lived in fear of waking up each morning And finding that you're gone from me The 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...
