I Would've

Jessie Murph's song 'I Would've' is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the emotional turmoil that follows. The lyrics convey a deep sense of commitment and sacrifice, as the narrator reflects on the lengths they would have gone to for their partner. The repeated lines, 'I would've loved you, would've stayed up all night, I could've loved you for the rest of your life,' emphasize the depth of their devotion and the pain of realizing that their love was not reciprocated or appreciated. This sentiment is further highlighted by the imagery of taking 'the cocaine off your lips' and 'ripping out the bottle from your fist,' suggesting a willingness to help their partner overcome personal demons and struggles.

The song also delves into the feelings of betrayal and anger that arise from a broken relationship. The narrator wakes up 'at the bottom of my bed' and feels as though they have 'gone through hell and back,' only to be repaid with ingratitude and madness. The line 'put two and two together, you sound motherfuckin' crazy' captures the frustration and disbelief at the partner's actions. The use of strong language and vivid descriptions, such as 'broke the window with no pain,' adds to the raw and unfiltered emotion of the song.

'I Would've' also touches on themes of self-worth and moving on. Despite the heartbreak, the narrator recognizes the toxicity of the relationship and ultimately decides to let go. The lines 'who knew? That bitch has a screw loose' and 'get the fuck out my driveway' signify a turning point where the narrator chooses to prioritize their own well-being over the dysfunctional relationship. The song ends on a note of resilience, as the narrator acknowledges their capacity for love but also their strength to walk away from a harmful situation.
