|
I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside |
|
Like my heart's sprung a big break |
|
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful |
|
That I may never shake |
|
Now 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 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 |
|
They're trying not to fall |
|
My heart's out of the running |
|
True love's scratched for another's sake |
|
The race is on and it looks like heartaches |
|
And the winner loses all |
|
One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting |
|
What the final results would be |
|
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning |
|
And finding that you'd gone from me |
|
There's aching and pain in my heart |
|
For the day 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 up the backstretch |
|
Heartaches are going to the inside |
|
My tears are holding back |
|
They're trying not to fall |
|
My heart's out of the running |
|
True love's scratched for another's sake |
|
The race is on and it looks like heartaches |
|
And the winner loses all |
