I'm somebody you call when you're alone
I'm somebody you use, but never own
I'm somebody you touch, but never hold
And you're somebody I'll never really know
I know I'm not the one you really love
I guess that's why I've never given up
'Cause I could give you all you want
The stars and the sun, but still, I'm not enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, all I really wanted was that look in your eyes
Like you already know that I'm the love of your life
Like you already know you're nеver saying goodbye
[Chorus]
But I'm not yours
I'm not yours, I'm not yours
I want more
I want morе, but I'm not yours
And I can't change your mind
But you're still mine
[Verse 2]
So tell me that it's time for me to go
'Cause you know I can't do it on my own
The only thing that's harder than sleepin' alone
Is sleepin' with your ghost
Oh, all I really wanted was that look in your eyes
Like you already know that I'm the love of your life
Like you already know you're never saying goodbye
[Chorus]
But I'm not yours
I'm not yours, I'm not yours
I want more
I want more, but I'm not yours
And I can't change your mind
[Bridge]
I should've known that it was dumb love
Fifteen dozen roses
All the things that I've done
For you not to notice
Can't believe I chose you
Over all my best friends
What the fuck did I do
In the end?
Just to not be yours
About
“Yours” is the fifth single off of Conan Gray’s sophomore album Superache.
The song’s discovery came after Gray stated a series of song titles alongside previously released tracks like “People Watching,” and a teased song on his social media “Best Friend,” on his tour’s on-screen visual. Additionally, he dropped a few hints about the song’s release after its title appeared in the “Memories” music video, where Conan’s ex delivered a box of Conan’s things at his front door with “yours” written in bold marker, near the end of the video.
On May 12, 2022, Conan posted a photo of a typewriter on Instagram with the words “I’m not yours.” The numers “5,” “9,” and the letter “L” were highlighted red, which was a hint at the song’s release date of May 19th. Conan officially confirmed the release of “Yours” on May 16, 2022, to be released three days later.

Dan [Nigro] and I were sitting at the piano, and he started playing the melody. It got stuck in my head. I started singing, ‘Somebody you call when you are alone…’ At that point in my life, I was dealing with that annoying, lingering love for someone that I very much felt was the most important person in my life. They didn’t have the same feelings towards me. I wanted the chorus to be really simple and repeat itself, like, ‘Well, I’m not yours, and I want more, but that stuff’s not going to happen.’ I wanted it to be very kind of plain.
