Charli XCX - Sympathy is a knife Lyrics
Official




I don't wanna share the space
I don't wanna force a smile
This one girl taps my insecurities
Don't know if it's real or if I'm spiraling
One voice tells me that they laugh
George says I'm just paranoid
Says you just don't see it, you're so naive
I'm embarrassed to have it but need the sympathy

'Cause I couldn't even be her if I tried
I'm opposite, I'm on the other side
I feel all these feelings I can't control
Oh no, don't know why
All this sympathy is just a knife
Why I can't even grit my teeth and lie?
I feel all these feelings I can't control
Oh no, don't know

Why I wanna buy a gun?
Why I wanna shoot myself?
Volatile at war with my dialogue
I'd say that there was a God if they could stop this
Wild voice tearing me apart
I'm so apprehensive now
Don't wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend's show
Fingers crossed behind my back
I hope they break up quick

'Cause I couldn't even be her if I tried
I'm opposite, I'm on the other side
I feel all these feelings I can't control
Oh no, don't know why
All this sympathy is just a knife
Why I can't even grit my teeth and lie?
I feel all these feelings I can't control (oh no)

All this sympathy is just a knife
All this sympathy is just a life
All this sympathy is just a knife
Yeah, all this sympathy is just a life
Oh no, oh no
Why is all this sympathy a f*cking knife?
Yeah, all this sympathy is just a knife
Couldn't even be her if I tried
Oh no, oh no
