Sympathy is a knife (1950s Charli xcx)

I don't wanna share the space

I don't wanna force a smile

This one girl taps my insecurities

Don't know if it's real or if I'm spiraling

One voice tells me that they laugh

George says I'm just paranoid

Says he just don't see it, he's so naive

I'm embarrassed to have it, but need the sympathy

'Cause I couldn't even be her if I tried

I'm opposite, I'm on the other side

I feel all these feelings I can't control

Oh no, don't know why

All this sympathy is just a knife (Why?)

Why I can't even grit my teeth and lie (Why?)

I feel all these feelings I can't control (Why?)

Oh no, don't know

Why I wanna buy a gun

Why I wanna shoot myself

Volatile at war with my dialogue

I'd say that there was a God if they could stop this

Wild voice tearin' me apart

I'm so apprehensive now

Don't wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend's show

Fingers crossed behind my back, I hope they break up quick

'Cause I couldn't even be her if I tried (Why?)

I'm opposite, I'm on the other side (Why?)

I feel all these feelings I can't control (Why?)

Oh no, don't know why

All this sympathy is just a knife (Why?)

Why I can't even grit my teeth and lie (Why?)

I feel all these feelings I can't control (Why?)

Oh no

All this sympathy is just a knife (Why?)

All this sympathy is just a knife (Why?)

All this sympathy is just a knife (Why?)

Yeah, all this sympathy is just a knife (Why?)

Oh no, oh no

Why is all this sympathy a fucking knife? (Why?)

Yeah, all this sympathy is just a knife (Why?)

Couldn't even be her if I tried

Oh no, oh no
