Sympathy is a knife featuring ariana grande Songtext
von Charli xcx

I-i-i-i-it′s a knife when you know they're waitin′ for you to choke
It's a knife when a journalist does a misquote
It's a knife when a friend is suddenly steppin′ on your throat
It′s a kn- when they say that you've been doing things you don′t-don't

It′s a knife when your old friends hate your new friends
When somebody says, "Charli, I think you've totally changed"
It′s a knife when somebody says they like the old me
And not the new me, and I'm like, "Who the fuck is she?"

'Cause it′s a knife when you′re finally on top, 'cause
Logically, the next step is they wanna see you fall to the bottom
It′s a knife when you're finally on top (on top)
′Cause logically the next step is they wanna see you fall, fall, fall

I-i-i-i-it's a knife when
It′s a knife when, it's a knife when
All this sympathy is just a knife when
It's a knife when, it′s a knife when
All this sympathy is just a


It′s a knife when you know they're countin′ on your mistakes
It's a knife when you′re so pretty they think you must be fake
It's a knife when they dissect your body on the front page
It′s a knife when they won't believe you, why should you explain? (Yeah)

It's a knife when the mean fans hate the nice fans
When somebody says, "Ari, I think you′ve totally changed" (no shit)
(It′s a knife) when somebody says they like the old me
And not the new me, and I'm like, "Who the fuck is she?"

′Cause it's a knife when you′re finally on top (on top), 'cause
Logically, the next step is they wanna see you fall to the bottom
It′s a knife when you're finally on top (on top)
'Cause logically the next step is they wanna see you fall, fall, fall

I-i-i-i-it′s a knife when (it′s a knife when)
It's a knife when (it′s a knife when), it's a knife when
All this sympathy is just a knife when (it′s a knife when)
It's a knife when (it′s a knife when), it's a knife when (oh)
All this sympathy is just a


(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All this expectation is a knife
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All the things I've said are just a knife
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All this expectation is a knife
(All this sympathy is just a knife) hm, yeah

(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All this expectation is a knife
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All the things I′ve said are just a knife
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
All this expectation is a knife
Knife, knife, knife, knife, knife
