Synopsis: Daria minutia: a sad plea from a Daria character, from the unpublished musical version of, “And When Your Heart Begins to Bleed” (not really, but if there was one, this song would be in it).

Author's Notes: Kristen Bealer started an “Iron Chef” competition on PPMB in March 2004, asking for letters to “Dear Abby” from Dariaverse characters. This particular set of lyrics came to me, based on a character’s predicament in an earlier fanfic, “And When Your Heart Begins to Bleed.” One never knows, of course, but that this plea for help isn’t being sung in other alternate Dariaverses, too.

Acknowledgements: Thanks to Kristen for the push. 8)

Dear Whoever

Dear whoever gives advice

I think it would be extra nice

If you’d send back a personal letter

Even better

Would you call me on the phone

One evening when I’m here alone

I’ve an ache inside that killing me

Oh, can’t you see

(chorus)

I’m in love and I am dying

I’m dying down inside

I’m empty and I hide

From all my friends who wonder where I’ve gone

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

I’m in love and I am crying

Just crying down inside

God knows just how I’ve tried

To keep it buried deep where it belongs

I want to die, I want to die

There’s a girl who’s my best friend

She’s been there through thick and thin

And she doesn’t know just how I feel about her

I’ve allowed her

In my room and in my heart

And it’s tearing me apart

That she’ll never hear me say these words

They’ll go unheard

(chorus)

I’m in love and I am dying

I’m dying down inside

I’ve no hope and so I hide

From all my friends who wonder where I’ve gone

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

I’m in love and I am crying

I’m crying deep inside

Only God knows how I’ve tried

To keep it buried deep where it belongs

I want to die, I want to die

Dear whoever reads my plea

You’ve got to get in touch with me

Before I lose my mind and tell her how I feel

It’s so unreal

I have to keep my love within

Keep it hidden from my Quinn

And she’ll stay best friends with Stacy Rowe

And never go

(chorus)

I’m in love but I am dying

I’m dying down inside

I’m lost and run and hide

From all my friends who wonder where I’ve gone

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

I’m in love but I am crying

I’m crying down inside

Dear God knows how I’ve tried

To keep it pushed way down where it belongs

But I want to die, I just want to die

I’m in love but I am dying

I’m dying down inside

I’m empty and I hide

From all my friends who wonder where I’ve gone

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

I’m in love but I am crying

I’m crying down inside

God knows just how I’ve tried

To keep it buried deep where it belongs

I want to die, I want to die

(repeat, fade out)
