Song Robert Glasper & Her & Meshell Ndegeocello - Better Than I Imagined

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
