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 
Then love, love will tear us apart again -- 

Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side 
Is my timing that flawed - our [bad word] so dry? 
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives 
Love, love will tear us apart again -- 

You cry out in your sleep - all my failings expose 
There's a taste in my mouth, as desperation takes hold 
Just that something so good just can't function no more 
When love, love will tear us apart again --
