Worst Thing
NOTD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

But would it be the worst thing
If your car wouldn't start up
We had to fog up the windows
When it gets dark just to keep us warm? (Yeah)

I wish we never met sometimes
'Til I'm with another ex, and I
Forget that you're the best sometimes
Wonder if I'm in your head
'Cause I hate this and I hate that
You're making me say this
'Cause I ain't one to say this but

We claim we're better off apart (oh)
Pretend that we don't get along

But would it be the worst thing
If your car wouldn't start up
We had to fog up the windows
When it gets dark just to keep us warm?
And would it be the worst thing if we both fell asleep
Woke up to twenty calls each
Wondering where the hell have we been?
If it means that we'd have eight more hours alone
Or even if we never make it home
I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing

Don't wanna overcomplicate
I tend to overcompensate
When you're not here, can't help it
My thoughts are automatic
Keep pulling me in, under my skin
I should admit, I-I'm in a gridlock
With my same thoughts of you

We claim we're better off apart (oh)
Pretend that we don't get along

But would it be the worst thing
If your car wouldn't start up
We had to fog up the windows
When it gets dark just to keep us warm?
And would it be the worst thing
If we both fell asleep
Woke up to twenty calls each
Wondering where the hell have we been?
If it means that we'd have eight more hours alone
Or even if we never make it home
I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing

Would it be, would it be the
Would it be the worst thing?
Would it be, would it be the
Would it be the worst thing? (I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing)
Would it be, would it be, no, oh, oh
The worst thing, yeah (oh)
Worst thing

But would it be the worst thing
If your car wouldn't start up
We had to fog up the windows
When it gets dark just to keep us warm?
And would it be the worst thing
If we both fell asleep
Woke up to twenty calls each
Wondering where the hell have we been?
If it means that we'd have eight more hours alone




Or even if we never make it home
I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of NOTD's song "Worst Thing" describe the conflicted emotions and thoughts that arise when reflecting on a past relationship. The song explores the idea that sometimes it feels like it would be better if two people never met, but those feelings fade when the singer is with another ex and realizes that their past partner is actually the best they've had. It delves into the internal struggle of wanting to move on and believe that being apart is for the best, while still longing for the warmth and familiarity of the relationship.


The lyrics play with the idea of hypothetical scenarios that would not be considered the worst thing. For example, if their car wouldn't start and they had to fog up the windows to keep warm, or if they both fell asleep and woke up to missed calls. These situations, though inconvenient, would provide them with more time together or a chance to be alone. The song poses the question of whether these seemingly minor inconveniences would actually be worse than being completely apart.


Overall, "Worst Thing" captures the complicated emotions of longing, indecision, and nostalgia that often arise after a relationship ends. It exposes the internal battle between wanting to move on and the comfort found in the familiarity of a past love.

Sometimes I regret meeting you


'Til I'm with another ex, and I
Until I'm with another past partner, and I

Keep pulling me in, under my skin
Continuously attracting and affecting me


I should admit, I-I'm in a gridlock
I should confess that I am caught in a difficult situation


With my same thoughts of you
With my recurring thoughts about you


Would it be, would it be the
Could it be, could it be the


Would it be the worst thing?
Would it be the most terrible outcome?


Would it be, would it be the
Could it be, could it be the

🇧🇷Pior coisa
[Intro: kenzie]
Mas seria a pior coisa
Se o seu carro não ligasse
Nós tivemos que embaçar as janelas
Quando escurece só para nos manter aquecidos?

[Verso 1: kenzie]
Eu gostaria que nunca tivéssemos nos conhecido às vezes
Até que eu esteja com outro ex, e eu
esqueço que você é o melhor às vezes
Me pergunto se estou na sua cabeça porque eu odeio isso
E odeio isso, você está me fazendo dizer isso
porque eu não sou de dizer isso, mas

[Pré-refrão: kenzie]
Nós afirmamos que estamos melhor separados (Oh-woah, oh-oh)
Finja que não nos damos bem

[ Refrão: kenzie]
Mas seria a pior coisa
Se o seu carro não ligasse
Tivemos que embaçar as janelas
Quando escurece apenas para nos manter aquecidos?
E seria a pior coisa se nós dois adormecêssemos
Acordássemos até vinte ligações cada
Querendo saber onde diabos estávamos?
Se isso significa que teríamos mais oito horas sozinhos
Ou mesmo se nunca chegarmos em casa
Acho que não seria a pior coisa

[Verso 2: kenzie]
Não quero complicar demais
Eu tendo a compensar demais
Quando você não está aqui, não posso evitar
Meus pensamentos são automáticos
Continue me puxando, debaixo da minha pele
Eu devo admitir, eu estou em um impasse
Com meus mesmos pensamentos sobre você

[Pré-refrão: kenzie]
Nós afirmamos que estamos melhor separados (Oh-woah, oh-oh)
Finja que não nos damos bem
[Refrão: kenzie]
Mas seria a pior coisa
Se o seu carro não ligasse
Nós tivemos que embaçar as janelas
Quando escurece só para nos manter aquecidos?
E seria a pior coisa se nós dois adormecêssemos
Acordássemos até vinte ligações cada
Querendo saber onde diabos estávamos?
Se isso significa que teríamos mais oito horas sozinhos
Ou mesmo se nunca chegarmos em casa
Eu acho que não seria a pior coisa

[Bridge: kenzie]
Seria, seria
a pior coisa?
Seria, seria o
Seria a pior coisa?
(Eu acho que não seria a pior coisa)
Seria, seria, não, oh, oh
A pior coisa, sim (Oh)
A pior coisa?

[Refrão: kenzie]
Mas seria a pior coisa
Se o seu carro não ligasse
Nós tivemos que embaçar as janelas
Quando escurece só para nos manter aquecidos?
E seria a pior coisa se nós dois adormecêssemos
Acordássemos até vinte ligações cada
Querendo saber onde diabos estávamos?
Se isso significa que teríamos mais oito horas sozinhos
Ou mesmo se nunca chegarmos em casa
Acho que não seria a pior coisa
