Teddy grew up navigating different worlds: he was a football player, a musical theater student and the grandson of a Pentecostal pastor. Teddy was exposed to a wider variety of music than most “country boys”. In high school and over the next few years he was in several bands, genres ranging from 80’s hair metal, funk, modern metalcore, soul, and country alternative bands.
These experiences make Teddy who he is as an artist.
In March of 2019, Teddy went on his first US tour as a hip-hop artist with his best friend Addy Maxwell, which he describes as freeing experience, as he was able to continue to expand into uncharted territory. With this in mind, Teddy began to explore integrating the various genres he loved: metal, pop-punk, soul/funk, country, gospel, r&b, and show-tunes, into one genre that is Teddy Swims.
Teddy is the accumulation of past projects. Swims stands for: someone who isn’t me sometimes, a reference to Teddy’s struggle to integrate the different parts of himself. For Teddy, the goal is to break barriers and bring people together. About the project, Teddy says, “There are no categories, no stereotypes, no statistic is a definite number. Until we learn to see every person as an individual, we will never truly reach unity.”
Someone Who Loved You

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't come to have the talk that I think you're tryna have tonight
It's hard to see you without the love in your eyes
Now I kinda think it's been, yeah, it's been that way the whole time
It's crazy in this moment realizin' I'm goin' from
Someone who loved you
So at least let me bleed here in peace
Why you keep tryna cut through
Someone who loved you?
Is this what it's come to?
But at least I can sleep with some peace
'Cause all I had to lose
Was someone who didn't love me
You lost someone who loved you
I look away as you're tellin' me it's for the best
I fuckin' hate that I don't know how to hate you yet
Baby, what we had was incredible, don't you know the come down is inevitable
You'll have a lot to miss when you send me that, "I miss you" text
It's crazy in this moment realizin' I'm goin' from
Someone who loved you
To someone you once knew
So at least let me bleed here in peace
Why you keep tryna cut through
Someone who loved you?
Is this what it's come to?
But at least I can sleep with some peace
'Cause all I had to lose
Was someone who didn't love me
You lost someone who loved you
Oh (someone)
Oh (oh)
Oh (ooh)
Someone who loved you
To someone you once knew
So at least let me bleed here in peace
Why you keep tryna cut through
Someone who loved you?
Is this what it's come to?
But at least I can sleep with some peace
'Cause all I had to lose
Was someone who didn't love me
You lost someone who loved you
The lyrics of Teddy Swims's song "Someone You Loved" tell a story of heartbreak and the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer begins by acknowledging that they came to apologize, but not to engage in the conversation their partner wants to have. They express how difficult it is to see their ex-lover without the same love in their eyes, realizing that perhaps it has always been that way. The chorus reflects their realization that they have gone from being someone who loved their partner to becoming a mere memory. They ask for space to heal and question why their ex keeps trying to hurt them when they were once the one who loved unconditionally. The lyrics suggest that the singer has come to terms with the situation and finds solace in the fact that they have only lost someone who never truly loved them in return.
Overall, the song explores the pain of unrequited love and the self-discovery that comes with moving on. It emphasizes the contrast between the intense love the singer once felt and the indifference or lack of reciprocation from their former partner. The lyrics convey a sense of acceptance and strength in recognizing their worth and understanding that they deserve better than someone who didn't love them fully.

Honestly, I came here to offer my apology
Didn't come to have the talk that I think you're tryna have tonight
I didn't intend to engage in the conversation that I believe you want to have tonight
It's hard to see you without the love in your eyes
It's difficult for me to witness you without the affection in your gaze
Now I kinda think it's been, yeah, it's been that way the whole time
Now I somewhat believe that it has always been like that
It's crazy in this moment realizin' I'm goin' from
In this moment, it feels surreal to realize that I'm transitioning away from
Someone who loved you
Being a person who deeply cared for you
To someone you once knew
To becoming a person you used to know
So at least let me bleed here in peace
So please allow me to suffer silently
Why you keep tryna cut through
Why do you persistently attempt to penetrate through my defenses
Is this what it's come to?
Has it truly come to this?
But at least I can sleep with some peace
But at least I can find solace in sleep

Was someone who didn't have affection for me
You lost someone who loved you
You lost a person who deeply loved you
I look away as you're tellin' me it's for the best
I turn my gaze away while you're explaining that it's the most favorable outcome
I fuckin' hate that I don't know how to hate you yet
I despise the fact that I haven't learned how to despise you yet
Baby, what we had was incredible, don't you know the come down is inevitable
Darling, our relationship was amazing, don't you realize that the downfall was bound to happen
You'll have a lot to miss when you send me that, 'I miss you' text
You will have many things to long for when you text me saying, 'I miss you'

Oh (someone)
Oh (oh)
