The Race Is On

I feel tears wellin' up cold, 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
 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
 Heartache's goin' to the inside
 My tears are holdin' back
 They're tryin' not to fall
 My heart's out of the runnin'
 True love's scratched for another's sake
 The race is on and it looks like heartache
 And the winner loses all
 ♪
 One day I ventured in love
 Never once suspectin' what the final result would be
 And how I lived in fear of waking up each morning
 Finding 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
 And I came out in second place
 Now the race is on
 And here comes pride in the backstretch
 Heartache's goin' to the inside
 My tears are holdin' back
 They're tryin' not to fall
 My heart's out of the runnin'
 True love's scratched for another's sake
 The race is on and it looks like heartache
 And the winner loses all
