[Verse 1: Ian Curtis]
When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high, but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads

[Chorus: Ian Curtis]
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

[Verse 2: Ian Curtis]
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives

[Chorus: Ian Curtis]
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Ian Curtis]
You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
Yes, it's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good, just can't function no more

[Chorus: Ian Curtis]
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear it apart again
Love, love will tear it apart again
