Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Passive, past it, I 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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Trust me, love me, no one could ever make you

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

My expectation'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?

[Verse 4]

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, yeah

Better than I imagined, yeah

'Cause it was better than I imagined, yeah

Better than I imagined, yeah

[Verse 5]

Yeah, hey, uh

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

[Verse 6]

'Cause this is better than I could have ever imagined
