What do call you this harmonious juxtaposition?

The Civil Wars

With everything you have learned so far, would it surprise you to know that their first single is charged with a beautiful tension of love & hate?

“You only know what I want you to

I know everything you don’t want me to

Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine

Oh you think your dreams are the same as mine

Oh I don’t love you but I always will

I wish you’d hold me when I turn my back

The less I give the more I get back

Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise

I don’t have a choice but I still choose you

Oh I don’t love you but I always will”

 

Does this tension ever resonate in your relationships at times?
