[00:00.51]I feel tears welling up cold and deep inside
[00:03.17]Like my heart's sprung a big break
[00:05.00]
[00:05.89]And the stab of loneliness sharp and painful
[00:08.50]That I may never shake
[00:10.88]
[00:11.72]You might say I was taking it hard
[00:13.96]Oh she wrote me off with a call
[00:15.82]
[00:16.50]But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
[00:18.92]When I may break right down and bawl
[00:22.00]
[00:22.94]Well the race is on
[00:24.73]And here comes pride up the backstretch
[00:26.40]
[00:27.08]Heartaches a-going to the inside
[00:29.16]
[00:29.70]My tears are holding back
[00:32.05]And trying not to fall
[00:33.85]
[00:35.08]My heart's out of the running
[00:37.14]True love's scratched for another's sake
[00:39.21]
[00:39.72]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[00:42.32]And the winner loses all
[00:44.89]
[01:10.08]One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
[01:13.17]What the final results would be
[01:15.70]
[01:16.28]How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
[01:18.70]And finding that you're gone from me
[01:21.02]
[01:21.84]There's aches and pain in my heart
[01:23.83]For today was the one that I hated to face
[01:27.05]Somebody new came up to win her
[01:29.72]I wound up in second place
[01:31.78]
[01:33.32]Well the race is on and here comes pride
[01:35.51]Up the backstretch
[01:36.12]
[01:37.54]Heartaches a-going to the inside
[01:40.45]My tears are holding back
[01:41.89]
[01:43.07]And trying not to fall
[01:45.85]My heart's out of the running
[01:47.69]True love's scratched for another's sake
[01:49.75]
[01:50.38]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[01:53.09]And the winner loses all
