Love Will Tear Us Apart Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

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

[Verse 2]

Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal

Love, love will tear us apart again

All my failings exposed
There's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold

Just can't function no more?

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

Peter Hook:

The great thing about being young as a musician is that you’re not overdrawn at the riff bank yet. You come up with a lot of riffs [seemingly] very quickly. As you get older, they come much slower. When we started off as Joy Division, every riff we came up with felt like a gift from God...
