[00:00.40]I feel tears welling up cold and deep inside
[00:03.06]Like my heart's sprung a big break
[00:04.89]
[00:05.78]And the stab of loneliness sharp and painful
[00:08.39]That I may never shake
[00:10.77]
[00:11.61]You might say I was taking it hard
[00:13.85]Oh she wrote me off with a call
[00:15.71]
[00:16.39]But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
[00:18.81]When I may break right down and bawl
[00:21.89]
[00:22.83]Well the race is on
[00:24.62]And here comes pride up the backstretch
[00:26.29]
[00:26.97]Heartaches a-going to the inside
[00:29.05]
[00:29.59]My tears are holding back
[00:31.94]And trying not to fall
[00:33.74]
[00:34.97]My heart's out of the running
[00:37.03]True love's scratched for another's sake
[00:39.10]
[00:39.61]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[00:42.21]And the winner loses all
[00:44.78]
[01:09.97]One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
[01:13.06]What the final results would be
[01:15.59]
[01:16.17]How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
[01:18.59]And finding that you're gone from me
[01:20.91]
[01:21.73]There's aches and pain in my heart
[01:23.72]For today was the one that I hated to face
[01:26.94]Somebody new came up to win her
[01:29.61]I wound up in second place
[01:31.67]
[01:33.21]Well the race is on and here comes pride
[01:35.40]Up the backstretch
[01:36.01]
[01:37.43]Heartaches a-going to the inside
[01:40.34]My tears are holding back
[01:41.78]
[01:42.96]And trying not to fall
[01:45.74]My heart's out of the running
[01:47.58]True love's scratched for another's sake
[01:49.64]
[01:50.27]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[01:52.98]And the winner loses all
