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 turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
Get a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good just can't function no more?
When 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

    I can\'t believe there are no comments to this version. Maybe it\'s because it is not their song, but I don\'t see harm in that.\nIn fact, even though they are the same lyrics, the mood this cover conveys is far different from the original deliver. It\'s much more somber.\nWhile Joy Division\'s song talks about the realization of the divide, Broken Social Scene\'s one traces the moment they\'re definitively not together anymore.
