I'm Not Yours Lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4

Light me up a cigarette and put it in my mouth
You're the only one that wants me around
And I can think of a thousand reasons why
I don't believe in you, I don't believe in you and I

Light me up a cigarette and put it in my mouth
You're the only one that wants me to die
And I can think of a thousand reasons why
I don't believe in you, I don't believe in you

I'm not yours anymore
I'm not yours anymore
No, I'm not yours anymore
I'm not yours anymore

Jump into your white mobile and run away
You're always leaving me behind
And I can think of a thousand reasons why
I don't believe in you, I don't believe in you and I

I'm not yours anymore
I'm not yours anymore
No, I, I'm not yours anymore
I'm not yours anymore

Light me up a cigarette and put it in my mouth
You;re the only one that wants me around
And I can think of a thousand reasons why
I don't believe in you, I don't believe in you and I

Cover art for I'm Not Yours lyrics by Angus and Julia Stone

The girl feels increasingly unappreciated in a relationship, and she keeps making a promise to herself not to go back to the guy because he's only interested in sex; he's not emotionally involved, he's not going to give her more and he finds it all too easy to leave her behind when he's taken what he wants.

She doesn't have anyone else to go to, though, no one else who cares about her one way or another. No one else who even cares if she's dead or alive....so she keeps going back to him, but "I'm not yours anymore" is probably her way of saying that she's no more his than he is hers. They're both in it for sex only; no emotions, no trust, no hopes or dreams of a future anymore.

This is a typical A & J Stone song...perfect for their vocals and personalities. They are such an incredible duo, although I haven't yet decided if I like Julia providing the vocals for different television ads. In the song the woman's been misreated, especially left behind (perhaps physically or emotionally) and she's finally given up on the man she loves. The cigarette line could have to do with the old notion that people smoked after sex (it's a release) and in this case she has just released him and hence her heartache. Not my favorite of theirs, but they have so many wondeful tracks from which to choose :) Just 4 comments for the Stones? Inexcusable!!!

They are one of my favorite bands. Just love almost everything they've ever released. This song is about not belonging to someone. It's about being free. (Not sure why anyone has worries or feels the need to proclaim his/her freedom when s/he is already free:D Breathe. No guilt. No need for it.

So powerful.

This reminds me of walk it off. In both cases the factor of them both being together was something neither beleived in.

I think she has this intense twisted relationship with this guy and they love and hate each other at the same time. And he is always leaving her behind. I think the ''I'm not yours anymore'' is merely a protest.
