"The Race Is On" lyrics

I feel tears welling up cold deep inside my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp as paper all that I can take
You might of thought that I'm taking it hard since you broke it off with a call
Don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow and I might break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch
Heart aches cut through my inside
My tears are holding back trying not to fall
My hearts out of the runnin
Two loves scratching for another safe
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 your gone from me
There's an aching pain in my heart for days, 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
Heart aches cut through my inside
My tears are holding back trying not to fall
My hearts out of the runnin
True loves scratching for another's sake
Now the race is on and it's looking like heartache
And the winner gonna lose it all
