Cover art for Love Will Tear Us Apart lyrics by Joy Division

I take him to be saying something along these lines–you and I have grown apart, we're in a rut, and we are all too aware of each other's failings. And yet, there's still some attraction there. So, rather than make a clean break, what love we still have for one another is causing us to stay together, to stay miserable, to tear each other apart, long after the point when we should have moved on.
