Melanie Martinez

Teddy Bear

Stitched you up, put you together

With cotton and feather

Gave you love, put my heart inside you

Oh what could I do

When you started talking in your sleep

Saying things you'd do to me

I didn't care

I wasn't scared

Now I'm finding knives under the sheets

Crumbled photographs of me

I'm in despair

Should I be scared?

Teddy bear, you were my teddy bear

You were comforting and quiet

How did love become so violent?

Oh, teddy bear, you were my teddy bear

Everything was so sweet until you tried to kill me

I threw you out, I didn't outgrow you

I just didn't know you

But now you're back

And it's so terrifying how you paralyze me

Now you're showing up inside my home

Breathing deep into the phone

I'm so unprepared

I'm fucking scared

Teddy bear, you were my teddy bear

You were comforting and quiet

How did love become so violent?

Teddy bear, you were my teddy bear

Everything was so sweet until you tried to kill me

I'm fucking scared

Teddy bear, you were my teddy bear

You were comforting and quiet

How did love become so violent?

Teddy bear, you were my teddy bear

Everything was so sweet until you tried to kill me
