[Verse 1]
When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
And emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways
Taking different roads

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

[Verse 2]
Why is the bedroom so cold?
You turn away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Has respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives

[Chorus]
And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart

[Cello Solo]
[Chorus]
And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart

[Verse 3]
You cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
There's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Just that something so good
Just don't function no more

[Chorus]
And 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
