I feel tears welling up, cooling deep inside
Like my heart sprung a big break
And the 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 pause
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I'm a red-eyed, down and bald
Now the race is on and here comes pride at the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back,
they're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running,
true love 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 suspecting what the final results would be
Now I lived in fear,
waking up each morning and finding that you'd gone from me
There's aching and pain in my heart for
the day was the one that I headed 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 at the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back,
they're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running,
true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all
