[Refrain 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’d 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 him There probably was a problem at the post office or something Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot him but anyways; fuck 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 bitch who didn’t want him I know you probably hear this everyday, but I’m your biggest fan I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man I like the shit you did with Ruckus too, that shit was phat Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan This is Stan

[Eminem as 'Stan'] Dear Slim, you still ain’t called or wrote, I hope you have a chance I ain’t mad – I just think it’s FUCKED UP you don’t answer fans If you didn’t wanna talk to me outside your concert you didn’t have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew That’s my little brother man, he’s only six years old We waited in the blistering cold for you, four hours and you just said, “No.” That’s pretty shitty man – you’re like his fucking idol He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do I ain’t that mad though, I just don’t like being lied to Remember when we met in Denver – you said if I’d 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 saying in your songs so when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put ‘em on cause I don’t really got shit else so that shit helps when I’m depressed I even got a tattoo of 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 growin up You gotta call me man, I’ll be the biggest fan you’ll ever lose Sincerely yours, Stan — P.S. We should be together too

[Eminem as 'Stan'] Dear Mister-I’m-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans, this’ll be the last package I ever send your ass 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, you dare me to drive? You know the song by Phil Collins, “In the Air of the Night” about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning but didn’t, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him? That’s kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning Now it’s too late – I’m on a 1000 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 coulda 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 conscience EATS AT YOU and you can’t BREATHE without me See Slim; Sh
