Lyrics of 'You & I (Samson's Lament) (feat. Tim McTague & JGivens)' by Christon Gray

[Christon Gray & JGivens]
Time marches on, but I stand still
Could someone please explain this to me
So I can stop asking myself?
How do these thoughts make their home in my head?
You’re not invited here
You’re not wanted here
Please lea-
Oh wait, that's right
Forgive me, I invited you here
Take a seat
I’ve got something to tell you

[Christon Gray]
Sweetheart, remember me?
I'm more than just a memory
You've drained all my energy
And I don't know how to let it be
Same old song, I guess it's just a new genre
They don't know that I created all this drama
Save my soul, 'cause You know I don't believe it
Say no more, I found a lady for the evening, yeah
And she got many faces and she got many names
Just like the Mona Lisa, 'cause they all look the same
You're my imagination, allow me to explain
Welcome to my addiction

Sweetheart, this isn't me
I need a dose of reality
I don't know what's gotten into me
I feel like I'm always the enemy, yeah

You and I, it's a suicide
This is do or die if I don't do it right
And I know what I should do about it
But I don't know if I can do without it

You and I, it's a suicide
This is do or die if I don't do it right
And I know what I should do about it
I'ma have to do without it

[Christon Gray & JGivens]
Too often I am caught in my own head
Wondering if tonight I'll share my bed
Cool and calm on the outside, but shook to the core
Being devoured by lions, you can tell by the roar
But this can't be life, this can't be love
I desired the pigeon and set free the dove
Things move too fast when egos get hurt
And bad seeds are planted when we dig in the dirt
So I toss the shackles to the side, but they find their way back
Not this time, Satan, I can't go for that
I'd be lying if I said that the devil made me do it
But that path is the one that leads to ruin
My actions, my words, they gon’ paint a new picture
Take her off the wall, she out my life and I don't miss her
It's clear my time is now, the battle will be won
Turn my back to the darkness, it’s time to face the Son

[Christon Gray]
You and I, it's a suicide
This is do or die if I don't do it right
And I know what I should do about it
But I don't know if I can do without it

You and I, it's a suicide
This is do or die if I don't do it right
And I know what I should do about it
Yeah, I'ma have to do without it

Sweetheart, remember me?
I’m on the road to recovery
The Lord has forgiven me
Your slave ain't what I wanna be, no
I sang along, but now it's time to go solo
Play no more, I left the game like Tony Romo
I'm so sure that you're going to leave my head soon
All Amour, I want the love before the bedroom

[Christon Gray & Mya Blue]
Honey, can you look at your Daddy, please?
First of all, I love you, little bunny, you know, that right?
Yes, Daddy
Good
You see, angel, everyday I work hard
To be the type of man
That you can look up to and be proud of
Because one day, you’re going
To meet the man that you want to marry
And he ain’t gon’ be perfect, just like me
But as long as he loves you unconditionall
And puts the Lord first
You’ve found yourself a great man
