Love Dichotomy

I know I shouldn't be here
But I couldn't stay away
I'm in this love dichotomy
It torments me every day
My heart tells me to stay with you  
Keeps saying you're the one 
But my mind says you're no good for me
Better cut my losses, run
I just can't seem to break the spell
The hold you have on me
You've broke my heart a thousand times
Yet I just can't set you free
This love is full of anguish
It's caused me so much pain
Every time I try to leave
You pull me back again 
But the thought of never kissing you
To taste you, feel your touch
That heat when we are skin to skin
I just can't give you up
So for now I have to linger here
Though this love is killing me
Pray one day I'll find the strength 
To end this love dichotomy
