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
And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold? Turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed and respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through all our lives
And love, love will tear us apart again
And love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep? Are my failings exposed?
And there's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Yet it's something so pure I just can't function no more
And love, love will tear us apart again
And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
And love, love will tear us apart again
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways taking different roads
And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold? Turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed and respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through all our lives
And love, love will tear us apart again
And love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep? Are my failings exposed?
And there's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Yet it's something so pure I just can't function no more
And love, love will tear us apart again
And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
And love, love will tear us apart again
