[00:00.50]I feel tears welling up cold and deep inside
[00:03.46]Like my heart's sprung a big break
[00:05.90]And the stab of loneliness sharp and painful
[00:08.78]That I may never shake
[00:11.15]You might say I was taking it hard
[00:13.43]Oh she wrote me off with a call
[00:15.90]But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
[00:18.32]When I may break right down and bawl
[00:21.57]Well the race is on
[00:22.72]And here comes pride up the backstretch
[00:25.33]Heartaches a going to the inside
[00:27.88]My tears are holding back
[00:30.05]And trying not to fall
[00:32.85]My heart's out of the running
[00:34.38]True love's scratched for another's sake
[00:36.87]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[00:39.50]And the winner loses all
[01:03.66]One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
[01:06.91]What the final results would be
[01:09.29]How I lived in fear of waking up every morning
[01:12.08]And finding that you're gone from me
[01:14.74]There's aches and pain in my heart
[01:16.24]For today was the one that I hated to face
[01:19.22]Somebody new came up to win him
[01:21.62]I wound up in second place
[01:24.88]Now the race is on and here comes pride
[01:27.23]Up the backstretch
[01:28.65]Heartaches a going to the inside
[01:31.16]My tears are holding back
[01:33.39]And tryin' not to fall
[01:35.96]My heart's out of the running
[01:37.61]True love's scratched for another's sake
[01:40.15]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[01:42.81]And the winner loses all
