What Don’t Belong To Me Lyrics

[Verse 1: Post Malone]
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: Post Malone]
Every string, every chord, my guitar
I'll give you everything in the world
But my heart

[Chorus: Post Malone]
'Cause I gave half to them halfway 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 rockstar-livin'
Take all of me, but thеre's one thang missin'
Baby I can't give you what don't bеlong to me

[Post-Chorus: Post Malone]
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

[Verse 2: Post Malone]
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: Post Malone]
And I wish I could give you the best
'Cause you deserve much more than this hole in my chest

[Chorus: Post Malone]
'Cause I gave half to them halfway 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 rockstar-livin'
Take all of me, but there's one thang missin'
Baby I can't give you what don't belong to me

[Post-Chorus: Post Malone]
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

[Bridge: Post Malone]
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: Post Malone]
'Cause I gave half to those halfway 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 rockstar-livin'
Take all of me, but there's one thang missin'
Baby I can't give you what don't belong to me

[Post-Chorus: Post Malone]
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)
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)

What Don’t Belong To Me Song Meaning

"What Don’t Belong To Me" is the sixth track from Post Malone’s debut country album "F-1 Trillion", released on August 16, 2024, under Republic and Mercury Records. The song showcases Posty’s introspective side, blending country with a late-‘70s disco-infused chorus. Co-written with Louis Bell, Charlie Handsome, Ashley Gorley, ERNEST, and James Maddocks, and produced by Bell and Handsome, it stands out as one of three solo tracks on the star-studded album.

The song explores emotional unavailability, with Post Malone admitting he can’t offer his heart to a lover because it’s been fragmented by past relationships ("halfway lovers"), reckless nights ("two drunk summers"), and his "rockstar livin’." The opening verses use grand metaphors—like lassoing the moon—to contrast his willingness to give material things but not his broken heart. The chorus’s repetition of "what don’t belong to me" underscores his resignation.

While Post Malone hasn’t discussed the song specifically, he’s praised the country community’s warmth during his genre shift. Critics highlight the track’s vulnerability, calling it a "raw confession" of his struggles with self-worth and past hedonism. Fans resonated with its honesty, noting its departure from his hip-hop roots while retaining his signature reverb-drenched vocals.
