[00:00.66]I feel tears welling up cold and deep inside
[00:04.03]Like my heart's sprung a big break
[00:06.11]
[00:07.09]And the stab of loneliness sharp and painful
[00:10.45]That I may never shake
[00:12.10]
[00:13.78]You might say I was taking it hard
[00:16.26]Oh she wrote me off with a call
[00:18.10]
[00:19.49]But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
[00:21.47]
[00:22.47]When I may break right down and bawl
[00:24.52]
[00:26.56]Well the race is on
[00:27.81]And here comes pride up the backstretch
[00:30.21]
[00:30.97]Heartaches a going to the inside
[00:33.24]
[00:34.11]My tears are holding back
[00:35.90]
[00:36.88]And trying not to fall
[00:38.33]
[00:40.14]My heart's out of the running
[00:42.16]True love's scratched for another's sake
[00:44.50]
[00:45.43]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[00:48.02]
[00:48.82]And the winner loses all
[00:50.90]
[01:06.85]One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
[01:10.78]What the final results would be
[01:12.43]
[01:13.68]How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
[01:16.41]
[01:16.97]And finding that you're gone from me
[01:18.47]
[01:19.90]There's aches and pain in my heart
[01:21.91]For today was the one that I hated to face
[01:24.84]
[01:25.90]Somebody new came up to win her
[01:28.22]
[01:29.02]I wound up in second place
[01:31.20]
[01:33.04]Now the race is on and here comes pride
[01:35.98]Up the backstretch
[01:36.65]
[01:37.54]Heartaches a going to the inside
[01:39.85]
[01:40.62]My tears are holding back
[01:42.73]
[01:43.78]And tryin' not to fall
[01:45.02]
[01:46.70]My heart's out of the running
[01:48.33]
[01:49.03]True love's scratched for another's sake
[01:51.21]
[01:51.96]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[01:54.86]
[01:55.47]And the winner loses all
[01:57.57]
