Ariana Grande - Sympathy Is A Knife Featuring Charli Xcx Lyrics

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 knife when they say that you've been doing 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-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 countin' 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 (mm, 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, 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)
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 (woah)
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 (mm)
(All this sympathy is just a knife)
Yeah (mm)

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