The Race Is On

I feel tears welling up from deep inside
Like my heart’s sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
That I may never shake
You might say that I was taking it hard
Since she gave me the final doodbye
But don’t you wager that I’ll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and cry
Now the race is on
And here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartache is going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They’re tryin' not to fall
My heart’s out of the running
True love scratched for another’s sake
The race is on
And it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
One day, I ventured in love
Never once suspecting what the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you’re gone from me
'Cause there’s ache and pain in my heart
For today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win him
And I came out in second place
Now the race is on…
