I feel tears welling up deep inside
like my heart's brung a big break.
A stab of loneliness, sharp and painful,
I might never shake.
I guess you could say I've been a-taking it hard
since you wrote me off with a call.
Don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrows
when I may break right down and fall.
So the race is on.
Here comes pride up the backstretch,
heartache taken to the inside.
My tears are a-holding back,
they're trying not to fall.
My heart's out of the running,
true love's scratched for another sink.
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all.
One day I ventured in love,
never once thinking what the final results would be.
Then I lived in fear of waking up each morning,
you'd be gone from me.
There's a naked 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.
So the race is on.
Here comes pride up the backstretch,
heartache taken to the inside.
My tears are a-holding back,
they're trying not to fall.
My heart's out of the running,
true love's scratched for another sink.
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all.
