[Chorus: Dido] x2
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’ll all be gray,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it’s not so bad,
it’s not so bad..
[Eminem as ‘Stan’]
Dear Slim, I wrote 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-a got ’em
There 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 bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I’ma call her?
I’ma 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 Skam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the s___ you did with Rawkus too, that s___ was fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Stan
[Chorus: Dido]
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’ll all be gray,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it’s not so bad,
it’s not so bad..
[Eminem as ‘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 of 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 aboutit.
I hope your conscious eats at you and you can’t breathe withoutme.
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?

[Chorus: Dido]
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’ll all be gray,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it’s not so bad,
it’s not so bad..

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I 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 the Starter cap
I’m sorry I didn’t see you at the show, I musta 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 dogg,
c’mon – how f___ed up is you?
You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
to help your a__ from bouncing 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’ll be doin just fine
if you relax a little, I’m glad 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 they didn’t say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
d___!
