Better Than I Imagined (Feat. H.E.R. & 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, love 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 to
 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
