Hope is a knife

[Verse 1: Mustafa & Clairo]

Tell me, how you want me

Should l lay on the ground

Or disappear?

High walls, like an army

Tell me, did I come to you too softly?

[Chorus: Mustafa & Clairo]

(Ooh)

And in my mind, you're already mine

I'm sorry I should let you decide

(Ooh)

And in my mind, you're already mine

I'm sorry I can't put out this fire

Can't put out this fire

[Verse 2: Mustafa & Clairo]

How did you forget me?

Was it a knife, or was it a hobby?

Or was it easy?

Was there nothing of me for you to keep?

[Chorus: Mustafa & Clairo]

(Ooh)

And in my mind, you're already mine

I'm sorry I should let you decide

(Ooh)

And in my mind, you're already mine

I'm sorry I can't put out this fire

Can't put out this fire

[Outro: Clairo]

(Ooh)

(Ooh)
