Eminem Ft. Dido - Stan lyrics
rate meMy tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all<br />
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all<br />
And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall<br />
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad<br />
<br />
Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin'<br />
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom<br />
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got him<br />
There probably was a problem at the post office or something<br />
<br />
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot him<br />
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?<br />
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father<br />
If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her? I'ma name her Bonnie<br />
<br />
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry<br />
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him<br />
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan<br />
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam<br />
<br />
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man<br />
I like the shit you did with Ruckus too, that shit was phat<br />
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back<br />
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan<br />
<br />
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all<br />
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all<br />
And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall<br />
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad<br />
<br />
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance<br />
I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans<br />
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert<br />
You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew<br />
<br />
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old<br />
We waited in the blistering cold for you<br />
Four hours and you just said, "No"<br />
That's pretty shitty man, you're like his fucking idol<br />
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do<br />
<br />
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to<br />
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I'd write you<br />
You would write back, see I'm just like you in a way<br />
I never knew my father neither<br />
<br />
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her<br />
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs<br />
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on<br />
'Cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed<br />
<br />
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest<br />
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds<br />
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me<br />
See everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it<br />
<br />
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7<br />
But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does<br />
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up<br />
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose<br />
Sincerely yours, Stan, PS, we should be together too<br />
<br />
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all<br />
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all<br />
And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall<br />
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad<br />
<br />
Dear Mister, I'm too good to call or write my fans<br />
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass<br />
It's been six months and still no word, I don't deserve it?<br />
I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect<br />
<br />
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it<br />
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway<br />
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?<br />
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"<br />
<br />
About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning<br />
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?<br />
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning<br />
Now it's too late, I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy<br />
<br />
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call<br />
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall<br />
I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it<br />
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it<br />
<br />
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it<br />
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me<br />
See Slim, shut up bitch, I'm trying to talk<br />
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk<br />
<br />
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you<br />
'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too<br />
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now<br />
Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?<br />
<br />
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all<br />
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all<br />
And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall<br />
It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad<br />
<br />
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy<br />
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?<br />
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that<br />
And here's an autograph for your brother, I wrote it on the Starter cap<br />
<br />
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you<br />
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you<br />
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?<br />
I say that shit just clowning dog, c'mon how fucked up is you?<br />
<br />
You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling<br />
To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some<br />
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?<br />
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other<br />
<br />
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other<br />
Or maybe you just need to treat her better<br />
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time<br />
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine<br />
<br />
If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan, why are you so mad?<br />
Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan, I just don't want<br />
You to do some crazy shit, I seen this one shit on the news<br />
A couple weeks ago that made me sick<br />
<br />
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge<br />
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid<br />
And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to<br />
Come to think about, his name was it was you, damn
