Eminem — Stan
Lyrics from lrclib
[00:01.23] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
[00:04.88] Got out of bed at all
[00:07.11] The morning rain clouds up my window
[00:10.76] And I can't see at all
[00:13.15] And even if I could, it'd all be gray
[00:16.76] But your picture on my wall
[00:19.02] It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[00:25.15] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
[00:28.73] Got out of bed at all
[00:31.12] The morning rain clouds up my window
[00:34.74] And I can't see at all
[00:36.90] And even if I could, it'd all be gray
[00:40.60] But your picture on my wall
[00:43.01] It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[00:48.42] Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
[00:51.43] I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
[00:54.49] I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
[00:57.48] There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
[01:00.37] Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
[01:03.45] But anyways, fuck it, what's been up, man? How's your daughter?
[01:06.41] My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father
[01:09.03] If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?
[01:11.04] I'ma name her Bonnie
[01:12.76] I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
[01:15.49] I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
[01:18.58] I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan
[01:21.90] I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
[01:24.69] I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man
[01:27.66] I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was phat
[01:30.74] Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back
[01:33.79] Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan
[01:37.19] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
[01:40.73] Got out of bed at all
[01:43.00] The morning rain clouds up my window
[01:46.66] And I can't see at all
[01:48.99] And even if I could, it'd all be gray
[01:52.57] But your picture on my wall
[01:55.09] It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[02:00.04] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
[02:03.60] I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans
[02:06.71] If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert, you didn't have to
[02:10.20] But you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
[02:12.21] That's my little brother, man, he's only six years old
[02:14.92] We waited in the blisterin' cold
[02:16.30] For you, for four hours, and you just said no
[02:18.73] That's pretty shitty, man, you're like his fuckin' idol
[02:21.35] He wants to be just like you, man, he likes you more than I do
[02:24.60] I ain't that mad, though I just don't like bein' lied to
[02:27.43] Remember when we met in Denver?
[02:29.22] You said if I'd write you, you would write back
[02:31.25] See, I'm just like you in a way, I never knew my father neither
[02:34.42] He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
[02:36.86] I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs
[02:39.20] So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
[02:42.09] 'Cause I don't really got shit else
[02:43.75] So that shit helps when I'm depressed
[02:45.38] I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
[02:48.39] Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
[02:51.25] It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
[02:54.04] See, everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it
[02:57.44] My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
[03:00.54] But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one does
[03:03.44] She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
[03:06.28] You gotta call me, man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
[03:09.14] Sincerely yours, Stan, P.S. "We should be together too"
[03:12.91] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
[03:16.67] Got out of bed at all
[03:18.92] The morning rain clouds up my window
[03:22.62] And I can't see at all
[03:24.94] And even if I could, it'd all be gray
[03:28.66] But your picture on my wall
[03:31.07] It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[03:36.19] Dear Mr. I'm-Too-Good-to-Call-or-Write-My-Fans
[03:39.28] This'll be the last package I ever send your ass
[03:42.22] It's been six months, and still no word, I don't deserve it?
[03:44.72] I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
[03:48.28] So this is my cassette I'm sendin' you, I hope you hear it
[03:51.38] I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' 90 on the freeway
[03:54.30] Hey, Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
[03:57.60] You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
[04:00.56] About that guy who coulda've saved that other guy from drownin'
[04:03.43] But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
[04:06.46] That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drownin'
[04:09.22] Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy
[04:12.65] And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
[04:15.35] I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall
[04:18.49] I loved you, Slim, we coulda been together, think about it!
[04:21.77] You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
[04:24.86] And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
[04:27.88] I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
[04:30.66] See, Slim, shut up, bitch! I'm tryin' to talk
[04:33.52] Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
[04:36.01] But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see? I ain't like you
[04:39.56] 'Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more and then she'll die too
[04:42.64] Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
[04:45.59] Oh, shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?
[04:49.56]
[05:01.05] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
[05:04.89] Got out of bed at all
[05:07.12] The morning rain clouds up my window
[05:10.68] And I can't see at all
[05:13.04] And even if I could, it'd all be gray
[05:16.58] But your picture on my wall
[05:19.15] It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[05:24.13] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I just been busy
[05:27.37] You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
[05:30.47] Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
[05:33.15] And here's an autograph for your brother; I wrote it on a Starter cap
[05:36.66] I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you
[05:39.76] Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
[05:42.65] But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
[05:45.66] I say that shit just clownin', dawg, come on, how fucked up is you?
[05:48.52] You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin'
[05:51.49] To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some
[05:54.53] 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
[06:00.54] I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
[06:03.28] Or maybe you just need to treat her better
[06:05.63] I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
[06:09.12] Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine
[06:12.24] If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you, but Stan
[06:15.20] Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan
[06:19.08] I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
[06:21.07] I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
[06:24.62] Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
[06:27.23] And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
[06:30.22] And in the car, they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
[06:33.21] Come to think about it, his name was, it was you
[06:36.59] Damn
[06:37.71]
