Eminem With Dido Stan Lyrics

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad it's not so bad

Dear Slim I wrote you but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell my pager and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn you must not have got 'em
It probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'

Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways f___ it what's been up man how's your daughter
My girlfriend's pregnant too I'm out to be a father
If I have a daughter guess what I'm a call her
I'm a name her Bonnie

I read about your uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some b____ who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground s___ that you did with Scam

I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the s___ you did with Ruckus too that s___ was phat
Anyways I hope you get this man hit me back just to chat
Truly yours your biggest fan this is Stan

Dear Slim you still ain't called or wrote I hope you have the chance
I ain't mad I just think it's f___ed up you don't answer fans
If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert you didn't have to
But you could have signed an autograph for Matthew that's my little brother man
He's only 6 years old we waited in the blistering cold
For you for 4 hours and ya just said no
That's pretty s___ty man you're like his f___in' idol
He wants to be just like you man he likes you more than I do

I ain't that mad but I just don't like bein' lied to
Remember when we met in Denver you said if I write you
You would write back see I'm just like you in a way
I never knew my father neither he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her

I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs
So when I have a s___ty day I drift away and put 'em on
Cause I don't really got s___ else so that s___ helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest

Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline the pain is such a sudden rush for me
See everything you say is real and I respect you cause you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like I know you Slim no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up
You've gotta call me man I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours Stan
PS We should be together too

Dear Mr. "I'm too good to call or write my fans"
This'll be the last package I ever send your a__
It's been six months and still no word I don't deserve it
I know you got my last two letters I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect

So this is my cassette I'm sending you I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now I'm doing 90 on the freeway
Hey Slim "I drank a fifth of vodka ya dare me to drive"
You know that song by Phil Collins from "The Air In The Night"
About that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning
But didn't then Phil saw it all then at his show he found him
That's kinda how this is you could have rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late I'm on a thousand downers now I'm drowsy

And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know I ripped all o' your pictures off the wall
I love you Slim we could have been together think about it
You ruined it now I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscious eats at you and you can't breathe without me
See Slim (screaming) shut up b____ I'm trying to talk
Hey Slim that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk
But I didn't slit her throat I just tied her up see I ain't like you
Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more and then she'll die too
Well gotta go I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh s___ I forgot how am I supposed to send this s___ out

(screeching tires crashing sounds car splashes into the water)

Dear Stan I meant to write you sooner but I've just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now how far along is she
Look I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
And here's an autograph for your brother I wrote it on your Starter cap

I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show I must have missed you
Don't think I did that s___ intentionally just to diss you
But what's this s___ you said about you like to cut your wrists too
I say that s___ just clownin' dawg c'mon how f___ed up is you
You got some issues Stan I think you need some counselin'
To help your a__ from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some

And what's this s___ about us meant to be together
That type of s___'ll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter
I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you hurt yourself I think that you'd be doin' just fine
If you'd relax a little I'm glad that I inspire you but Stan
Why are you so mad try to understand that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy s___
I seen this one s___ on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
And had his girlfriend in the trunk and she was pregnant with his kid
And in the car they found a tape but it didn't say who it was to
Come to think about it his name was it was you
