*The Return*

On the first page of our story

The future seemed so bright

Then this thing turned out so evil

I don't know why I'm still surprised

Even angels have their wicked schemes

And you take that to new extremes

But you'll always be my hero

Even though you've lost your mind

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

But that's all right because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

But that's all right because I love the way you lie

It was a dismal night, as they stood in front of each other. He'd just asked her for the truth about her feelings for him.

"The truth is...I've never loved you."

As her words sunk in, she walked out. As she did, she heard a shot glass being shattered. She knew she'd hurt him, but she had to so that he'd let her go. She was protecting him the only way she knew how.

*The Return*

I love the way you lie

Oh, I love the way you lie

Now there's gravel in our voices

Glass is shattered from the fight

In this tug of war you'll always win

Even when I'm right

Katherine lay on her back, Damon's hand around her throat.

"Kiss me or kill me? Which will it be, Damon? We both know that you're only capable of one."

For a moment, he thought it through, before taking his hand away and kissing her. Then they kissed.

*Masquerade*

'Cause you feed me fables from your hand

With violent words and empty threats

And it's sick that all these battles

Are what keeps me satisfied

Damon had her pinned against a wall with a stake raised.

"I'm going to drive this stake right through your heart," he threatened.

"God, you're hot. When did you get so hot?" she replied.

*1864*

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
