Paroles de The race is on

I feel tears wellin' 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
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 in sorrow
When i may lay right down and bawl
Now the race is on
And here comes pride up the back stretch
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 suspectin' what the final result would be
How i lived in fear of waking up each morning
And finding that you're 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
And i came out in second place
