The Race Is On

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
 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?
 Well, 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'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 result would be
 How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
 And thinkin' 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 her
 I came out in second place.
