Annotations and Meaning.

[Verse 1]

"I can wrap a rope around the moon, tie it up and drag it down to you / Honey, if you ask me to, you know I'd try it" - Post Malone starts the song with a declaration of the lengths he’d go for someone he loves, using grand, almost impossible gestures as a metaphor for his willingness to do anything for them. "Girl, if you don't wanna land this jet, let's keep on flyin'" - This line symbolizes a desire to keep the relationship going, avoiding the inevitable landing, or end, despite knowing it may not last.

[Chorus]

"'Cause I gave half to them half-way lovers / I left some to them two drunk summers" - The chorus reflects on the emotional pieces Post Malone has lost in past relationships and wild times, acknowledging that he no longer has his whole heart to give. "Take all of me, but there's one thing missin' / Baby, I can't give you what don't belong to me" - Here, Post Malone admits that while he’s willing to give everything he has, there’s a part of him that’s already gone, and he can’t offer it to anyone else.

[Verse 2]

"If I knew I'd meet you one day / I woulda never gave it all away" - In this verse, Post Malone expresses regret for not saving more of himself for someone truly special, realizing too late that he’s given too much of himself to fleeting experiences.

[Bridge]

"Yeah, you keep holdin' on, but it's gone when it's gone / And you can't replace it" - The bridge emphasizes the permanence of what’s been lost, reinforcing the idea that some things, once given away, can never be recovered. What Don’t Belong To Me is a deeply reflective track that captures the complexities of love, regret, and self-awareness. Through its heartfelt lyrics, Post Malone explores the lasting impact of past relationships and the realization that some emotional losses are irreversible. The song’s blend of country and pop elements enhances its emotional depth, making it a standout on the album.

What Don’t Belong To Me Song Lyrics

What Don’t Belong To Me by Post Malone

[Verse 1]
I can wrap a rope around the moon, tie it up and drag it down to you
Honey, if you ask me to, you know I'd try it
I can put some diamonds 'round your neck, dancin' in a ruby-red sunset
Girl, if you don't wanna land this jet, let's keep on flyin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Every string, every chord, my guitar
I'll give you everything in the world but my heart

[Chorus]
'Cause I gave half to them half-way lovers
I left some to them two drunk summers
Left a piece at the bar with the keys to my car
I know I'm never gettin' it back
I lost a lot to that whiskey sippin'
I gave the rest to that rock star livin'
Take all of me, but thеre's one thing missin'
Baby, I can't give you what don't bеlong to me

[Post-Chorus]
What don't belong to me
What don't belong to me (What don't belong to me)
What don't belong to me
What don't belong to me (Mm)
[Verse 2]
I can lay you down, I can change your life
Maybe not forever, no, but, baby, for the night
If I knew I'd meet you one day
I woulda never gave it all away

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wish I could give you the best
'Cause you deserve much more than this hole in my chest

[Chorus]
'Cause I gave half to them half-way lovers
I left some to them two drunk summers
Left a piece at the bar with the keys to my car
I know I'm never gettin' it back
I lost a lot to that whiskey sippin'
I gave the rest to that rock star livin'
Take all of me, but there's one thing missin'
Baby, I can't give you what don't belong to me

[Post-Chorus]
What don't belong to me
What don't belong to me (What don't belong to me)
What don't belong to me (Oh-ah)
What don't belong to me
[Bridge]
Yeah, you keep holdin' on, but it's gone when it's gone
And you can't replace it
Baby, let's just face it
Baby, let's just face it

[Chorus]
'Cause I gave half to those half-way lovers
I left some to them two drunk summers
Left a piece at the bar with the keys to my car
I know I'm never gettin' it back
I gave a lot to that whiskey sippin'
I gave the rest to that rock star livin'
Take all of me, but there's one thing missin'
Baby, I can't give you what don't belong to me

[Post-Chorus]
What don't belong to me
What don't belong to me (No, what don't belong to me)
What don't belong to me
What don't belong to me (Yeah, what don't belong to me)
What don't belong to me
What don't belong to me (What don't belong to me)
What don't belong to me
What don't belong to me
[Outro]
Oh, what don't belong to me
