Welcome To My Party Lyrics

it ain’t me you were looking for -- you stood upon it
and then you walked away from the door

and I thought that bell would ring twice
but now I know for sure that
it ain’t me you were looking for

welcome to my party for you
welcome to my party for you
welcome...

welcome to my party for you
welcome to my party for you
welcome to my party for you

'cause you hooked my heart until it tore
I had to burn the house down just to get through the door

and I thought that bell would ring twice
but now I know for sure that
it ain’t me you were looking for

welcome to my party for you
welcome to my party for you
welcome...
welcome to my party for you
welcome to my party for you
welcome to my party for you

you gotta bleed your own blood to get on through that fire
you got a ways to go

welcome...
welcome...

'cause it ain’t me, yeah

oh, it ain’t me, yeah
did you bait the love?

welcome...
welcome...

'cause it ain’t me, yeah...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song really hit home for me. It reminded me of my ex-boyfriend who I kept trying to mend things with me- he "stood up on the doorway and then walked away". He really tried to work things out too, but then realized that it wasn't working. And I truly "thought that bell would ring twice but I now know for sure that it ain't me [he was] looking for." I miss him a lot, but I need to "bleed through [my] own blood to get on through that fire." I'll get over him soon- I just need to be strong. It's clear that I "gotta ways to go." I need to stop throwing a pity "party" about him and move on. I know it'll all be okay though. There is somebody out there looking for somebody like me.

And there's somebody for you too! Chin up!

no comments on this song? huh...

well in my book, this songs stands out. One of the worst feelings is when the person you have your affection set on, overlooks you. The lyrics are so simple, but they mean so much.
