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)
