i feel tears wellin up cold and deep inside like my heart s sprung a big leak and the stab of loneliness sharp and painful that i may never shake now you might say that i was taking it hard since you wrote me off with a call but don t you wager that i ll hide the sorrow when i may break right down and bawll now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch heartache s a going to the inside my tears are holding back they re trying not to fall my heart s out of the running true love s scratched for another s sake the race is on and it looks like heartache s and the winner loses all one day i had ventured in love never once suspecting what the final results would be how i lived in fear of 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 hated 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 up the back stretch heartache s a going to the inside my tears are holding back they re trying not to fall my heart s out of the running true love s scratched for another s sake the race is on and it looks like heartache s and the winner loses all
