My life has changed in mais ways than one
Since the dia my father shot both of his sons
My speed has increased, my temperature dropped
I have a new taste for blood since the trigger popped
My beloved Katherine is gone because of me
And my brother, Damon, is no cup of tea
He killed a girl I was beginning to love
My sweet Callie Gallagher, my beautiful dove
I escaped after that and ran far away
All the way to New York for my new part-time stay
My first week there I went to Central Park
There I stumbled upon a girl in the dark
Her throat was cut, she was left for dead
But I fed her my blood, healing her from toe to head
I took her home, going to leave her on the steps
But her father caught me, a tall man with large biceps
Their names were the Sutherland's, a rich family
They took me into their wing without a question, unusually
I learned later the middle daughter, Lydia
Was courting a rich count who wasn't from India
He dressed in black and called himself "Damon DeSangue"
But as I got a closer look I could tell my brother and him were the same
He followed me there, to ruin my life
To get even with me, for the death of his could be almost-wife
Bridget was the name of the girl I rescued
And after an ultimatum from Damon, her I pursued
We had a double wedding, in a big white church
The sight we saw later made me want to purge
After a small ride, just Damon and I
We went back to the house and saw Margaret cry
She was the oldest daughter of them all
And the scene in front of us gave her reason to bawl
All of her family, her parents and sisters
Were dead on the floor leaving us single misters
My father-in-law looked like he'd been butchered 
My mother-in-law looked as if she were punctured
Poor Lydia's limbs were broken in two
Bridget's face looked just like a statue
The remaining sister believed it wasn't our fault
But we were still arrested and put in a vault
My best friend, Lexi, who's also like me
Came to our rescue, looking quite dreamy
I soon began to amor her, just like I loved before
But I was still haunted por memories of Callie on the floor
We met the man who killed the Sutherlands
His name was Lucius, he explained his reasoning, and we began to understand
He worked for a vampire named Klaus
Who wanted revenge for Katherine's death, the pretty girl in a blouse
He was her sire, an Original vampire
He wanted to break a curse he's had since before the Roman Empire
Lucius captured us and put us in a tomb
Just Lexi and I in a rock room
After hours of thinking, Damon decided to save us
He brought Margaret, with her a secret we wouldn't guess
She was a witch, thats why we couldn't compel her
But we had to leave her because Lucius appeared in a blur
Damon, Lexi, and I got on a boat, the Mina M
Deciding to go wherever it took us, stopping at 11 P.M.
San Francisco, was where we were headed
With it another adventure I sure dreaded
