Teddy Bear Lyrics

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

La, la, la, la, la

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

La, la, la, la, la

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

La, la, la, la, la

What is the Meaning of Teddy Bear?

Teddy bear is about “Crybabys” abusive boyfriend. He starts off a sweet nice guy and shows warning signs (Should I be scared?) and slowly the abuse gets worse and worse, till he does something over the line. I’m pretty if we’re going by the story being told in this song, she breaks up with him and then he confronts her later ? hope this helps, stay safe <33
