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

Better Than I Imagined

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
