You call to me and I fall at your feet
How could anyone ask for more?
And our time apart
Like knives in my heart
How could anyone ask for more?
It was a dark night in New Orleans, as Klaus stood on his balcony, debating on what to do now. He was alone and had lost everything, but still had Hope to raise on his own. He could called Caroline, but she wanted to move on without him, if their last conversation was any indication. He could also go back to Mystic Falls. He could stay there, raise Hope, and let Caroline decided on what she wanted to do next. Plus, if he stayed there, there was a witch that could shield Hope from anyone outside Mystic Falls. Besides, when he had left, he hadn't had any intentions of moving on. His promise still stood. He would wait for her for eternity, no matter how long it took.
Trying not to love you
Only goes so far
And trying not to need you
Is tearing me apart
Can't see the silver lining
From down here on the floor
And I just keep on trying
But I don't know what for
'Cause trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more
After he had left and through everything, he had done everything to make sure Marcel didn't know his weakness and to be a good father to Hope. Now that Hayley had turned into a hybrid and was under a curse with her pack so she would only be human once a month, she was out of the way. And, after everything, he had succeeded in no one here knowing he had feelings for someone; had a weakness. No one could know in New Orleans.
Even though she was trying to move on without him, he didn't want to move on. He wanted her at his side someday and now, alone, it was even harder than ever to not call her and to just stay away.
And this kind of pain
Only time takes away
That's why it's harder to let you go
Nothing I can do
Without thinking of you
That's why it's harder to let you go
So I sit her divided
Just talkin' to myself
Was it something that I did?
Was there somebody else?
When a voice from behind me
That was fighting back tears
Sat right down beside me
Whispered right in my ear
Said I've been dying to tell you
That trying not to love you
Only went so far
And trying not to love you
Was tearing me apart
After thinking things through again, he decided to do what he had once asked her to do three years ago. He decided that he would "take a chance."
After finding out in so many ways where she was going to college at, he left New Orleans with Hope to go after her again, just as he always had.
And I see the silver lining
And what we're fighting for
If we just keep on trying
We could much more
'Cause trying not to love you
Yeah
Trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more
