I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside   Like my heart's sprung a big leak   And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful   That I may never shake      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 in sorrow   When I may lay right down and bawl      Now the race is on   And here comes pride in the backstretch   Heartaches goin' to the inside   My tears are holdin' back, they're tryin' not to fall      My hearts out of the runnin'   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'd ventured in love   Never once suspectin' what the final result would be   And how I lived in fear of waking up each morning   Thinking that you 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 her   I came out in second place      Well the race is on   And here comes pride in the backstretch   Heartaches goin' to the inside   My tears are holdin' back, they're tryin' not to fall      My hearts out of the runnin'   True love's scratched for another's sake   The race is on and it looks like heartaches   And the winner loses all
