Don't Understand
Post Malone Lyrics

I'm a rolling stone
I am a person who is constantly moving and changing, never staying in one place for too long

It took you by surprise
My actions or behavior caught you off guard or unexpectedly affected you

You're hangin' onto something, anything
You are desperately clinging to anything or anyone, seeking stability or purpose

Just like a shimmer of light
Similar to a faint glimmer of hope or positivity in your life

Oh, how the sword, it fell
Expressing a sense of pain or betrayal, as if a metaphorical blade has struck you

I said, 'You're really something, everything To me, and I'm cold
Acknowledging that you are truly special and valuable to me, even though I struggle with emotional distance or detachment

So hold me closer, baby
Asking for physical and emotional intimacy, craving closeness and warmth

I don't understand why you like me so much 'Cause I don't like myself
Expressing confusion about why you have such affection for me, as I struggle with self-acceptance and self-worth

I don't understand why you like me so much Wish I was someone else
Feeling a desire to be someone different, longing to possess qualities or attributes that are more likable or desirable

You say you got a million reasons But I can't think of one
Although you claim to have numerous reasons to like me, I struggle to see or comprehend even a single one

I don't understand how you like me so much 'Cause I don't like myself, mm-mm
Continuing to express confusion and disbelief about your strong affection towards me, due to my lack of self-esteem or self-love

I'll build a church for you They'll come from miles around
Promising to create a devoted and sacred space for you in my life, where others will be drawn to witness our love

Girl, you're really something, everything To me, and I'm cold
Emphasizing once again that you mean the world to me, despite my emotional detachment or aloofness

So hold me closer, baby
Reiterating the longing for intimacy and connection, urging you to hold me tightly

I don't understand how you like me so much 'Cause I don't like myself
Repeating the confusion and disbelief regarding your affection for me, as I struggle with self-acceptance and self-worth

I don't understand how you like me so much Wish I was someone else
Continuing to express the desire to be someone different, wishing to possess qualities or attributes that are more likable or desirable

You say you got a million reasons But I can't think of one
Despite your claims of having numerous reasons to like me, I still can't comprehend or identify a single one

I don't understand how you like me so much 'Cause I don't like myself, mm-mm, mm-mm
Reaffirming the confusion and disbelief about your strong affection towards me, rooted in my lack of self-esteem or self-love
