Lyrics

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 knife when they say that you've been doin' things you 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-it's a knife when, 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 you must be fake (mm) It's a knife when they dissect your body on the front page (ooh-ooh, ooh) 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-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) 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 (ah) All this sympathy is just a kn- (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, mm-mm, mm) Yeah (ah) All this expectation is a knife (ah) All the things I've said are just a knife (ah) All this expectation is a knife (ah)
