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 tears us apart again
Love, love will tears us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
You've 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

But love, love will tears 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

    General Comment:I prefer the energy of Joy Division's version. (Ian was SO incredibly talented.) This version is very good, though. I have, unfortunately, never cared for the beliveability of the song lyrics, though. It makes me think of Too Close to Love You by Alex Clare. Both songs don't make much sense lyrically, and I like lyrics to make sense. The opposite of love is indifference, and indifference tears people apart. Love is a unifier...always. Wars, for example, are not fought, won, and lost over love (other than love of self or money). Anyway, I am a "word nerd," and although the musical quality of this song is excellent, the words are all wrong.

    General Comment:Pete Wentz(bassist of Fall Out Boy), said he had always wanted to die like Ian Curtis. I wish he followed through with his dream.
