[Verse 1]
In 2002
I was in love with you
Passing notes in class
Yeah, I always thought it'd last
But in a couple years
Things were getting strange
I hold my breath, I close my eyes
It's all been rearranged

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll forgive and forget when I am dead
I'm still mad about what you said to me
If you're the artist, the tortured artist
I finally know what the term means

[Chorus]
I'm sending you a cease and desist in my heart
It's all your fault and everybody knows it
You made a fool of me from the start
And I'm so blind I never could've seen it
I hope you get it some day
When everything is going great
'Cause I'm sending you a cease and desist

[Verse 2]
You never hear the song
You never sing along
But it's for the best
‘Cause I've got the west
And every time I walk down the street
I think about just how you'll always be
Alone

[Chorus]
I'm sending you a cease and desist in my heart
It's all your fault and everybody knows it
You made a fool of me from the start
And I'm so blind, I never could've seen it
I hope you get it some day
When everything is going great
'Cause I'm sending you a cease and desist
