For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I’ll be forever thankful baby
You’re the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who saw me through it all

It was a beautiful day, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused.
“No; Of course you’re not a means of survival. You looked out for me when I had no one. You’ve given me a second chance now, when no one else will.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “I love you. Elijah.”
*New York- 1525*
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I could speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

After realizing that she was in danger and had found out where, he’d entered the abandoned warehouse and slaughtered the vampires who’d wished to and had harmed her.
Afterward, he blurred to her side and pulled out the stake, once knelt by her, and with her against him, he bit his wrist to save her, since she was almost fully desiccated.
He put his wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat, saving her life.

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I’m grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

It was a beautiful day, as Elijah spoke on the phone. Stefan had said that Rebekah had joined the good guys. After Elijah told him how much she despised Katherine, Elijah gave a threat to him.
“If anything whatsoever happens to Katerina, I will descend upon Elena.”
*500 Years of Solitude*
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You’ve been my inspiration

It was a dismal night, as the doctors tried to revive her. She’d just had a heart attack tonight at the boarding house.
As the doctors tried their best, Caroline, having a good heart and knowing how much she meant to Elijah, called him and explained what he’d missed and what had happened.
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

After she was revived and he’d gotten to town and the hospital, he sat on her bedside, knowing that he couldn’t save her. She was dying and he couldn’t heal her. The one person he knew he should be able to save, he couldn’t. All he could do was to stay with her until the end and try to give her peace.
