Sympathy is a knife featuring ariana grande

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?"
