Sympathy is a knife (2025科切拉音乐节现场) - Charli xcx

I don't wanna share this 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 he just don't see it he's 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 lie

All this sympathy is just a knife

Yeah all this sympathy is just a lie

Oh no oh no

Why is all this sympathy a ******* knife?

Yeah all this sympathy is just a lie

Couldn't even be her if I tried

Oh no oh no
