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 it 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 one could ever makе you

Stay true, hate to say it, but it's too late

My еxpectation's too low, you can't relate to

Baby, but I don't blame you

Baby, you were the one I always escaped to

Dated to replace you, maybe I'm just afraid to

Phone 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

Better than I imagined

'Cause it was better than I imagined

Better than I imagined

Yeah, hey, um

On the scramble to get a flight, I lost my phone

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

And 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
