[Verse 1]
Stitched you up, put you together
With cotton and feather
Gave you love, put my heart inside you
Oh, what could I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
When you started talkin' in your sleep
Saying the things you'd do to me
I didn't care, I wasn't scared
Now I'm findin' knives under the sheets
Crumpled photographs of me
I'm in despair, should I be scared?
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
La, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-ha, la-ha
La, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-ha, la-ha
[Verse 2]
I threw you out, I didn't outgrow you
I just didn't know you
But now you're back, it's so terrifying
How you paralyze me
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you're showin' up inside my home
Breathin' deep into the phone
I'm so unprepared, I'm fuckin' scared
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
La, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-ha, la-ha
La, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-ha, la-ha
[Bridge]
Uoy worgtuo t'ndid I
Uoy worgtuo t'ndid I (tuo uoy werhT)
Uoy worgtuo t'ndid I (tuo uoy werhT)
Uoy worgtuo t'ndid I
Uoy worgtuo t'ndid I (tuo uoy werhT)
Uoy worgtuo t'ndid I (tuo uoy werhT)
(I'm fuckin' scared)
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
La, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-ha, la-ha
La, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-ha, la-ha
Teddy Bear was written by Phoebe Ryan & Melanie Martinez & Felix Snow.
Teddy Bear was produced by Felix Snow.
Melanie Martinez released Teddy Bear on Fri Aug 14 2015.
Exactly. Since Pity Party was released before, remember at the beginning of this song she stitched him up. Perhaps afterwards she stitched him back up. But that’s besides the point, it was just being funny about the fact there was a teddy bear in her video.
