Lyrics and translation
Original
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)
