Lyrics |
I feel tears wellin' up, cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And this stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
That I may never shake
You might say that I was taking it hard
When 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
Heartache's a-going to the inside
My Tears are holding back
An' 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 Heartache
And the winner loses all
One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin'
What the final results would be
Now I live in fear of wakin' up each mornin'
And findin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart for the day
I met the one I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
I came out in second place
Well, the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
Heartache's a-going to the inside
My Tears are holding back
An' 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 Heartache
And the winner loses all
