VERSE 1]
He says I’m hard to love — I say, “good.”
Takes too much effort to be misunderstood
Don’t want a prince with his hands on my crown
I want peace — not someone who tears me down
[PRE-CHORUS]
Boys play heroes, then beg for praise
But they ghost when you misbehave
A bear? He’ll end me just for fun
But at least he’ll only do it once
⸻
[CHORUS – ANTHEM & CATCHY]
I’d rather the bear than beg you to care
He’d rip me to shreds, but at least he’s fair
He won’t gaslight, he won’t lie
He won’t text back just to waste my time
You say I’m cold? You say I’m mean?
Honey, the bear’s more emotionally clean
No red flags, no games, no stares —
If I die alone, I’d rather the bear
⸻
[VERSE 2]
You say I’m bitter — oh, that’s cute
Like I should melt for your half-truths
A bear won’t ask if I’m on my “days”
He’ll just maul me and go on his way
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
He won’t cheat, he won’t compare
Won’t “fix” me with that dead-eyed stare
And when I’m gone, he won’t come back
With roses, lies, and a heart attack
⸻
[CHORUS – BIGGER, MORE LAYERS]
I’d rather the bear than fall for despair
He bites to kill, not to leave me scared
No mind games, no “just chill”
No pretty words dressed up to kill
You say I’m mad? You say it’s sad?
At least the bear’s not half this bad
If I’m not loved — I’m self-aware
So if I die, I’d rather the bear
⸻
[BRIDGE – SLIGHTLY SLOW, THEN BUILD]
He won’t promise what he won’t keep
Won’t break me soft, then call it deep
Won’t blame my heart for every fight
Won’t say “forever” just for spite
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS – FULL POWER]
I’d rather the bear than beg you to care
At least he’s honest, at least he’s rare
He’ll end it fast, won’t drag it slow
Won’t post my flaws for the world to know
So say I’m cold, say I’m a witch
I’d rather claws than your little twitch
If I’m too much — I’ll go elsewhere
’Cause if I die… I’d rather the bear
