Cold and 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 I was taking it hard
Oh, she wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl
Well the race is on
And here comes Pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are 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 Heartaches
And the winner loses all
One day I 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've gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart
For today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
I wound up in second place
Well the race is on
And here comes Pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are 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 Heartaches
And the winner loses all
I feel tears welling up Cold and 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 I was taking it hard Oh, she wrote me off with a call But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may break right down and bawl Well the race is on And here comes Pride up the backstretch Heartaches are 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 Heartaches And the winner loses all One day I 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've gone from me There's ache and pain in my heart For today was the one that I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her I wound up in second place Well the race is on And here comes Pride up the backstretch Heartaches are 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 Heartaches And the winner loses all Explain Request ×
