• "Yours" is a soft piano ballad where Conan Gray sings of his unrequited love for a friend. The singer tries his utmost to take their relationship to the next level, but his feelings are not shared.
  
  I know I'm not the one you really love
  I guess that's why I've never given up
  
  On the hook, Gray accepts that his friend is not interested in a romantic relationship.
  
  I want more
  But I'm not yours
  And I can't change your mind
  But you're still mine
  
  By the end, Gray is chastising himself for wasting his energy when his efforts were destined to fail.
  
  I should've known that it was dumb love
  Fifteen dozen roses
  All the things that I've done
  For you not to notice
