Lyrics by：Charlotte Aitchison/Finn Keane/Jonathan Christopher Shave/Ariana Grande

Produced by：Charli xcx/Finn Keane

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 kni-i-ife 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-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 **** 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 when

All this sympathy is just a knife when

When when when

It's a knife when it's a knife when

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

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 ****

It's a knife

When somebody says they like the old me and not the new me

And I'm like "Haha who the **** 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-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 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

A knife

All this sympathy is just a kn

All this sympathy is just a knife

All this expectation is a knife
