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   But you might say that I was taking it hard   Since she wrote me off with a call   But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow   When I may lay right down and bawl      Now, the race is on and here comes pride in the back stretch   Heartaches are going to the inside   My tears are holding back there and   I'm tryin' 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 ventured in love, never once suspectin'   What the final results would be   How I lived in fear of wakin' up each mornin'   Findin' that you're gone from me   There's ache and pain in my heart   For today was the one I hated to face   Somebody new came up to wed her   And I came out in second place      So now the race is on and here comes pride in the back stretch   Heartaches are going to the inside   My tears are holding back there and   I'm tryin' 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
