Sympathy is a knife featuring ariana grande

I-I-I-I-It's a knife when you know they're waiting 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

It's a knife when, it's a knife when (When, when)

All this sympathy is just a knife when (When)

It's a knife when, it's a knife when (When, when)

All this sympathy is just a—

It's a knife when you know they're counting on your mistakes

It's a knife when you're so pretty, they think it 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?

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, ooh)

'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 (When, when)
