Couldn’t Be Worse Lyrics – Jessie Murph

Couldn’t Be Worse Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
She’s saying she’s been feeling a little unstable lately, like she’s not in a good headspace. But instead of trying to fix it, she’d rather let go completely—get high, lose control, and be free with the person she’s into. She’s not interested in staying sane if it means losing that intense connection. She’s basically offering herself—her time, her nights, her emotions—to this person, like she’s ready to give it all, even if it’s wild and reckless.

[Pre-Chorus]
She doesn’t care if people talk badly or judge. She feels stuck in this place, maybe emotionally or mentally, and doesn’t think she’s getting out. She wants to hear comforting lies, that the pain somehow makes everything better. She’s so deep in it, she believes things couldn’t possibly get worse—even though they clearly already feel pretty bad.

[Chorus]
She feels like she’s drifting away from herself, floating above it all, completely disconnected. She’s been so lost she hasn’t even noticed the basic things, like what she’s wearing. But instead of avoiding pain, she says she’ll lean into it and make it hurt more. She keeps falling for this person, over and over, knowing it’s going to hurt. She gave up control, took the risk, and now she’s caught in this mess—but strangely, she wants to feel it all.

[Verse 2]
Here, she’s calling out the other person for holding back. She knows what she wants, and it’s frustrating that they’re hesitating. Even when she knows the relationship is bad for her, she’s drawn in even more. There’s something dangerous and thrilling about it. She doesn’t want them playing it safe—she wants them fully in, no matter how dark or twisted it gets. She’s done caring about what’s “right.”

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, she’s repeating that she doesn’t care if people talk or judge. She feels trapped in this emotional place with no escape. She just wants to hear that the pain is worth it and that maybe feeling everything—good or bad—is better than feeling nothing at all.

[Chorus]
She feels like she’s left her body and is just floating, totally disconnected from reality. She’s so far gone she doesn’t even care about appearances or normal things anymore. She’s trying to navigate through the chaos but wants it to hurt, like pain makes it more real. No matter how bad things get, she keeps falling for this person. She’s taken the leap, given up control, and instead of fighting the pain, she wants to experience every bit of it.

[Outro]
She repeats that things couldn’t possibly get worse, like a final acceptance of how low things have gotten. It’s like she’s stuck in this loop of pain and love, and she’s given up fighting it.
