The Race is On

I feel tears welling up cold Deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break And a stab of loneliness sharp as paper, all that I can take You might have thought that I'll be taking it hard since you broke it off with a call But don't you wager, I'ma hide my sorrow Might break right down and bawl Now the race is on And here comes pride up the back stretch Heartaches cut through my inside My tears are holding back, trying not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' Two loves scratching for another's sake Now the race is on and it's looking like heartache And the winner gonna lose it all One day, I wagered in love Never once suspecting what the final result would be And I lived in fear waking up each morning Finding that you're gone from me There's an aching pain in my heart for the days For the one that I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her And I ended up in second place Now the race is on And here comes pride up the back stretch Heartaches cut through my inside My tears are holding back, trying not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' Two loves scratching for another's sake Now the race is on And it's looking like heartache And the winner gonna lose it all
