I might just text you
Turn your phone over, when it's all over
No settling down, my text go to your screen
You know better than that

from Childish Gambino – Heartbeat Lyrics on Rap Genius

CG still texts his ex. When she receives it, she turns over her phone to ignore it.

Things she does not do:

• Text back (right now)
• Delete the message
• Tell her new boyfriend who just texted…hey, he’s not her real boyfriend

CG is saying that after we’ve lost “the one”, we still keep a spot open for them even as we start new relationships. He’s telling her, “Don’t ignore me; you know better than that.”
