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.

You might say 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 a-going to the inside

My tears are holding back

And 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 waking up each mornin'

And finding that you're gone from me

There's aches and pain in my heart

For today was the one that I hated to face

Somebody new came up to win her

I wound up in second place.

Well, the race is on and here comes pride

Up the backstretch

Heartaches a-going to the inside

My tears are holding back

And 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...
