I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,
|
Like my heart's got a big break
|
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake.
|
|
You might think that I'm taking it hard since you broke me off with a call,
|
You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow and I might lay right down and bawl.
|
|
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch,
|
Heartaches a goin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, tryin' not to fall.
|
|
My heart's our 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.
|
Now I live in fear of waking up each morning,
|
And finding that you're gone from me.
|
|
There's an aching pain in my heart for the name of the one that I hated to face,
|
Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place.
