Synopsis: Daria minutia: a sad plea from a Daria character, from the unpublished musical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.

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)
