Better Than I Imagined (feat. H.E.R., KAYTRANADA & Meshell Ndegeocello)

Passive, past it
I've been thinking 'bout mad shit
Happened, action
Baby, we never lasted
Magic madness
Maybe you was just gassin'
But it was better than I imagined

Drastic acting
To you we was just practice
Sadness, mask it
Hated you with a passion
Had it granted
Baby, I didn't cap it
'Cause it was better than I imagined

Thought it'd be worse
'Cause it hurts me
But still I can't
See myself with no one else
'Cause it was better than I imagined
Hey-hey-hey
Better than I imagined
Hey-hey-hey

Trust me, lovе me
You know I could never make you
Stay true
Hate to say it
But it's too late
My expectations
Too low you can't relate to
Baby, but I don't blame you

Baby, you were the one I always escaped to
Day two, replace you
Maybe I'm just afraid to
Call you
Need you to tell me if it's okay too
Is it okay?

I thought it'd be worse
'Cause it hurts me
But still I can't
See myself with no one else
'Cause it was better than I imagined
Hey-hey-hey
Better than I imagined
Hey-hey-hey
'Cause it was better than I imagined
Hey-hey-hey
Better than I imagined
Hey-hey-hey

Hey, uhm
In the scramble to get a flight, I lost my phone and
I'm calling you from the hotel phone
I couldn't get a flight back to the States
I realize you're the only number I know by heart
Last time I was here, we were together, remember?
I tried to tell you how I felt, I
Then you stopped me, you were
Then you said: Don't ruin it
'Cause this is better than I could have ever imagined
I hope you're okay staying inside
I hope you're not lonely
And, I'll call again
Maybe you'll answer
'Cause this is better than I could have ever imagined
