I feel tears wellin' up goin' deep inside like my heart's gonna get broke
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake
You might say that I was takin' it hard since you broke me off with a call
Don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow when I may break right down and bawl
Chorus:
Now the race is on and here comes pride at the back stretch
Heartaches 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 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 wakin' up each morning findin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart for the name of the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her and I came out in second place
Chorus:
Now the race is on and here comes pride at the back stretch
Heartaches 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 heartaches and the winner loses all
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake
You might say that I was takin' it hard since you broke me off with a call
Don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow when I may break right down and bawl
Chorus:
Now the race is on and here comes pride at the back stretch
Heartaches 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 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 wakin' up each morning findin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart for the name of the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her and I came out in second place
Chorus:
Now the race is on and here comes pride at the back stretch
Heartaches 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 heartaches and the winner loses all
