I hate it when you wander, 
So sensual and free
And I hate it when you're psychic, 
With things I cannot see

I hate it when you lead on, 
Like you know which way to go
And I hate it when you stumble 
And you never touch the floor
 
A pathological liar,
I am falling again
With a flood of desire,
I walk the line,
Between pleasure and pain
 
I hate it when you're lying,
So close to me at night
And I hate it when you whisper,
Sweet words into my mouth
Yet, a woman be the reason,
A woman be the light
A woman be the colour,
If faith would be my sight
 
I'm a man of contradiction,
With a heart so restrained
So afraid of commitment,
I walk the line,
Between pleasure and pain
 
It may take one lifetime
Or it may take one day
For me to find the courage,
Not to walk away

If this is all that matters,
If this is all we know
If enlightenment is our journey,
It will never ever let us go
(Never let us go)

I hate the way you want me,
Passion in your eyes
I struggle and I reason,
This couldn't possibly be right

And I fight you with armour
And I fight you with fear
So afraid of what I would find out,
If I would let your heart come near

But I believe in redemption,
For a fool's domain
And I ask for forgiveness
I walk the line, 
Between pleasure and pain
Between pleasure and pain

I walk the line, 
Between pleasure and pain
