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 
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 
But love, love will tear us apart again 
Love, love will tear us apart again 

You cry out in your sleep 
All my failings exposed 
And there's a taste in my mouth 
As desperation takes hold 
Just that something so good 
just can't function no more 
But love, love will tear us apart again 
Love, love will tear us apart again 
Love, love will tear us apart again 
Love, love will tear us apart again.
