Better Than I Imagined - Robert Glasper, H.E.R., Meshell Ndegeocello

Passive past it

I been thinking about mad shit

Happened action

Baby we never lasted

Magic madness

Maybe you was just gassing

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

Better than I imagined

Trust me love me

No 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 imagined

Better than imagined

'Cause it was better than I imagined

Better than I imagined

In a 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

Then you stopped me, you were

Then you said

Don’t ruin it

Because 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

Because this is better

Than I could have ever imagined
