About Love Will Tear Us Apart

"Love Will Tear Us Apart" is a song by the British post-punk band Joy Division. The lyrics were written by the band's vocalist, Ian Curtis, who committed suicide in May 1980, a month after the song was released as a single. The song was then re-promoted in 12" format in June 1980. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" was written in August and September of 1979 and was debuted when the band supported Buzzcocks on their UK tour in September and October 1979, and it is one of the few songs in which Ian Curtis played guitar (albeit somewhat minimally). .

Love Will Tear Us Apart Lyrics

[00:25.96] When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
[00:32.13] And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
[00:38.77] And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
[00:45.42] Love, love will tear us apart again
[00:52.15] Love, love will tear us apart again
[00:59.61]
[01:04.85] Why is the bedroom so cold turned away on your side?
[01:11.78] Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?
[01:18.07] Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
[01:24.76] Love, love will tear us apart again
[01:31.57] Love, love will tear us apart again
[01:39.15]
[02:03.96] Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
[02:10.02] Get a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
[02:16.81] Is it something so good just can't function no more?
[02:23.66] But love, love will tear us apart again
[02:29.94] Love, love will tear us apart again
[02:36.99] Love, love will tear us apart again
[02:43.25] Love, love will tear us apart again
[02:48.82]
