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
