Cuddled my teddy bear
Pretending it's you
Do you know
How much I hurt inside?

Fell asleep with my teddy bear
Imagined it was you
But when I woke up
His eyes were blank

Smiled at my teddy bear
Told him some jokes
But he didn't laugh
Not even once

I named my teddy Chris
Just like you
But he stayed silent
And ignored my pleas

Begged my teddy
Called out his name
But he didn't understand
And never answered my calls

Soaked my teddy with my tears
Hoping he'd comfort me
But alas, nothing
He didn't say a thing

Looked at my teddy
Caressed his cheek
But he looked right through me
As if I was air

Snuggled my teddy bear
Praying it was you
But the truth is
He belongs to my sister
