Well I feel tears wellin' 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
|
Now you might say that I was taking it hard oh 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 they're 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
|
[ strings ]
|
One day I ventured in love never once suspectin' what the final result would be
|
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning and findin' 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 him and I came out in second place
|
|
Now the race is on and here comes...
