Story Behind The Song
Surrounded by breaking relationships, not least my own, I took a step back and wondered at the limited space between love and hate, and our proud attempts to fill it.
Song Description
Edgy dueted ballad about real, unrequited love playing on the different implications of the phrase 'welcome to me'. The female voice is at once proud and yearning. The male haunts like a ghost, gone but still very real.

Lyrics
WELCOME TO ME
Why should I apologise for loving you?
Why should I regret the things I've done?
Wheels were set in motion
By the depth of my devotion
And there is no stronger feeling under the sun
You said you wanted me
That's what you got
You said you needed me
You got the lot
And now you're asking me
To be something I'm not
There's someone you forgot
There's someone you forgot
Welcome to me
Why should I apologise for hating you?
Why should I give back the heart I won?
There is no easy ending
Just another heart that's rending
And there is no stronger feeling under the sun
You said you wanted me
That's what you got
You said you needed me
You got the lot
And now you're asking me
To be something I'm not
There's someone you forgot
There's someone you forgot
Welcome to me
Welcome to me
Welcome to me...
