Eminem - Stan (Lyrics) ft. Dido (320K)

[00:00.29] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

[00:04.57] Got out of bed at all

[00:06.95] The morning rain clouds up my window

[00:10.67] And I can't see at all

[00:12.79] And even if I could it'll all be gray

[00:16.52] But your picture on my wall

[00:18.90] It reminds me, that it's not so bad

[00:22.62] It's not so bad

[00:24.75] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

[00:28.47] Got out of bed at all

[00:30.87] The morning rain clouds up my window (window)

[00:34.32] And I can't see at all

[00:36.72] And even if I could it'll all be gray

[00:40.19] But your picture on my wall

[00:43.11] It reminds me, that it's not so bad

[00:45.25] It's not so bad

[00:48.17] Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't callin'

[00:51.09] I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom

[00:54.03] I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em

[00:57.22] There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'

[00:59.87] Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

[01:02.79] But anyways, fuck it, what's been up, man? How's your daughter?

[01:06.25] My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father

[01:08.64] If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?

[01:11.03] I'ma name her Bonnie

[01:12.63] I read about your uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry

[01:14.76] I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him

[01:18.22] I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan

[01:21.40] I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam

[01:24.63] I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man

[01:27.54] I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was phat

[01:30.73] Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back

[01:33.12] Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan

[01:35.52] This is Stan

[01:36.57] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

[01:40.59] Got out of bed at all

[01:42.72] The morning rain clouds up my window (window)

[01:46.44] And I can't see at all

[01:48.82] And even if I could it'll all be gray

[01:52.28] But your picture on my wall

[01:54.67] It reminds me, that it's not so bad

[01:58.68] It's not so bad

[02:00.28] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance

[02:03.21] I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans

[02:06.39] If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert

[02:09.31] You didn't have to, but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew

[02:11.96] That's my little brother, man, he's only six years old

[02:14.64] We waited in the blistering cold for you

[02:16.50] For four hours and you just said, "No"

[02:18.36] That's pretty shitty, man, you're like his fuckin' idol

[02:21.01] He wants to be just like you, man, he likes you more than I do

[02:24.46] I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein' lied to

[02:26.85] Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I'd write you you would write back

[02:31.10] See, I'm just like you in a way

[02:32.43] I never knew my father neither

[02:34.06] He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her

[02:36.45] I can relate to what you're saying in your songs

[02:38.84] So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on

[02:42.04] 'Cause I don't really got shit else, so that shit helps when I'm depressed

[02:44.97] I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest

[02:48.18] Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds

[02:50.84] It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me

[02:54.03] See, everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it

[02:56.96] My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7

[03:00.40] But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does

[03:02.80] She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up, you gotta call me, man

[03:06.81] I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

[03:08.67] Sincerely yours, Stan

[03:09.99] P.S. we should be together too

[03:12.92] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

[03:16.37] Got out of bed at all

[03:18.79] The morning rain clouds up my window (window)

[03:22.52] And I can't see at all

[03:24.64] And even if I could it'll all be gray

[03:28.37] But your picture on my wall

[03:31.03] It reminds me, that it's not so bad

[03:34.48] It's not so bad

[03:35.81] Dear Mr. I'm Too Good To Call Or Write My Fans

[03:39.00] This will be the last package I ever send your ass

[03:42.45] It's been six months and still no word, I don't deserve it?

[03:44.57] I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect

[03:48.03] So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it

[03:51.21] I'm in the car right now, I'm doing ninety on the freeway

[03:54.13] Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka

[03:56.26] You dare me to drive?

[03:57.37] You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"

[04:00.29] About that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning

[04:03.00] But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?

[04:06.19] That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning

[04:09.10] Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy

[04:12.31] And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call

[04:14.96] I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall

[04:17.89] I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it

[04:21.35] You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it

[04:24.57] And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it

[04:27.50] I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me

[04:30.42] See Slim, shut up bitch, I'm tryna talk

[04:33.08] Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk

[04:35.73] But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you

[04:39.20] 'Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too

[04:42.39] Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now

[04:45.34] Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?

[05:00.75] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

[05:04.46] Got out of bed at all

[05:06.59] The morning rain clouds up my window (window)

[05:10.34] And I can't see at all

[05:12.77] And even if I could it'll all be gray

[05:16.22] But your picture on my wall

[05:19.14] It reminds me, that it's not so bad

[05:22.34] It's not so bad

[05:23.92] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy

[05:26.84] You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?

[05:30.09] Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

[05:32.75] And here's an autograph for your brother

[05:34.88] I wrote it on a Starter cap

[05:36.20] I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you

[05:39.40] Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you

[05:42.32] But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?

[05:45.28] I say that shit just clownin', dawg, come on, how fucked up is you?

[05:48.47] You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling

[05:51.14] To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some

[05:54.32] And what's this shit about us meant to be together?

[05:57.25] That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other

[06:00.19] I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

[06:03.09] Or maybe you just need to treat her better

[06:05.22] I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time

[06:08.69] Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine

[06:11.88] If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan

[06:15.06] Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan

[06:18.25] I just don't want you to do some crazy shit

[06:20.65] I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick

[06:24.41] Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

[06:26.81] And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid

[06:29.75] And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to

[06:32.94] Come to think about, his name was, it was you

[06:36.92] Damn!
