​needle in a haystack

[Intro]
​backyard

[Chorus]
I'm a needle in a haystack, you can't fake that (I'm a needle in a haystack)
I know I can make it if I ever tried (I know I can make it if I ever tried)
I know I was wrong but I would never say that (I know I was wrong but I would never say that)
I know that you hate me, baby, so do I (I know that you hate me, baby, so do I)
Sometimes I feel like my life's sorta like a racetrack (Sometimes I feel like my life's sorta like a racetrack)
I don't think I'm gonna make it to the finish line (I don't think I'm gonna make it to the finish line)
But if I ever do, wish it was you and I (But if I ever do, wish it was you and I)
But I knew that this mission was a suicidе (I knew that this mission was a suicide)

[Verse]
I call up my momma and say I miss her though (Say I miss hеr though)
She's gon' tell me she's pissed off 'cause I'm never home ('Cause I'm never home)
If I'm really bein' honest, I wish I could go (I wish I could go)
But I wanna give you the world and there's nothin' to show (There's nothin' to show)
One day, I'ma be a star and I'll give you it all (Give you it all)
Right now things are pretty hard so I put up a wall (I put up a wall)
'Cause I know you would be ashamed to be watching me fall (To be watching me fall)
So I'll go write another song and forget what it's called (Forget what it's called)
And I'm sorry, it haunts me, I'm not gonna change (Not gonna change)
I've hardly been honest, I'm not doing great (Not doing great)
But I'll honor a promise I already made (I already made)
And I'll call you as often as I can be brave (As I can be brave)
I'll call you as much as I humanly can (As I humanly can)
'Cause I know that you care, but you don't understand (But you don't understand)
And it's fine to be scared, but that's all that I am (That's all that I am)
I know anger and fear like the back of my hand (Like the back of my hand)
I'm walking a path that's not easy to follow (Not easy to follow)
You left a hole in my chest, now it's hollow (Now it's hollow)
I know the truth isn't easy to swallow (Not easy to swallow)
I'm living off time, but I know that it's borrowed (I know that it's borrowed)
And I'm not paranoid, but it's safe to be cautious (Safe to be cautious)
'Cause thorns in your side turn to nails in your coffin (Turn to nails in your coffin)
And the money I make is just changing my pocket (Is just changing my pocket)
The songs I create will survive for the longest

[Chorus]
(I'm a needle in a haystack, you can't fake that)
I know I can make it if I ever tried (I know I can make it if I ever tried)
I know I was wrong but I would never say that (I know I was wrong but I would never say that)
I know that you hate me, baby, so do I (I know that you hate me, baby, so do I)
Sometimes I feel like my life's sorta like a racetrack (Sometimes I feel like my life's sorta like a racetrack)
I don't think I'm gonna make it to the finish line (I don't think I'm gonna make it to the finish line)
But if I ever do, wish it was you and I (But if I ever do, wish it was you and I)
But I knew that this mission was a suicide (I knew that this mission was a suicide)
