The Race is On

I feel tears welling up cold

Deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break

And a stab of loneliness sharp as paper, all that I can take

You might have thought that

I'll be taking it hard since you broke it off with a call

But don't you wager, I'ma hide my sorrow

Might break right down and bawl

Now the race is on

And here comes pride up the back stretch

Heartaches cut through my inside

My tears are holding back, trying not to fall

My heart's out of the runnin'

Two loves scratching for another's sake

Now the race is on and it's looking like heartache

And the winner gonna lose it all

One day, I wagered in love

Never once suspecting what the final result would be

And I lived in fear waking up each morning

Finding that you're gone from me

There's an aching pain in my heart for the days

For the one that I hated to face

Somebody new came up to win her

And I ended up in second place

Now the race is on

And here comes pride up the back stretch

Heartaches cut through my inside

My tears are holding back, trying not to fall

My heart's out of the runnin'

Two loves scratching for another's sake

Now the race is on

And it's looking like heartache

And the winner gonna lose it all
