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 respect runs 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

    Actually. this song is used as a memorial to Ian Curtis. he had epilepsy and had seizures onstage alot during his music career and it started to really embarass him. one night on tour he had attempted suicide by overdosing on pain meds. He lived and recovered after a few days. But a few months down the road him and Deborah kinda started to hit alot of rough patches and he couldn't take the stress and the loss in his heart, so he hung himself in his kitchen. R.I.P Ian !
