Love will tear us apart
C.D.V.S.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All you've ever done is pull me down
Maybe I should have let you drown
Maybe I should have let you drown
I won't lose myself to one such as you
I won't lose myself to one such as you
I was so lost before we had met
Clarity in my life, so genuine
Give me a moment, a moment just to focus
On the light in front of me
Clearing my dizzy headspace
With what's truly right for me
Give me a moment, a moment to focus
On the light in front of me
I've been trying to pick my own brain
But I found all the answers in you
Who we are, near or far
Nothing will us tear us apart
Write your name in the stars
Nothing will tear us apart (tear us apart)
When life challenges us
Just breathe and jump
When life challenges us
Just breathe and jump
Who we are, near or far
Nothing will us tear us apart
Write your name in the stars
Nothing will tear us apart
I will help you through pain
I will help you through struggle
I will help you all life's banes
Efforts never in vain
We'll reach the end of the tunnel
And we will face the new day
Who we are, near or far
Nothing will us tear us apart
Write your name in the stars
Nothing will tear us apart
Tear us apart
The lyrics of Love Will Tear Us Apart by C.D.V.S.S. present a complex and emotional journey of finding love, losing oneself to it, and ultimately emerging from it. The opening verse begins with the singer refusing to hear any more negativity and criticism from their partner who has always brought them down. They even question whether they should have let their partner drown instead of saving them. The chorus reaffirms that the singer will not lose themselves to their partner, but instead will stick with them until the end. The second verse is introspective, reflecting on the clarity that their partner brings to their life, and finding a moment of focus and mindfulness to clear their headspace.
The final verse speaks of solidarity, that nothing can tear them apart as they face life's challenges together. They vow to help each other through pain and struggle, and that their efforts will never be in vain. The song's closing line, "write your name in the stars, nothing will tear us apart," is a powerful statement of commitment and permanence.
Love Will Tear Us Apart is a beautifully written and performed song that explores love and relationships in a nuanced, heartfelt way. The lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of love, and the music is hauntingly beautiful.

Deaf my ears, I don't want to hear a sound
I refuse to listen to you and your negativity
All you've ever done is pull me down
You've never been supportive and have only brought me down
Maybe I should have let you drown
Perhaps it would have been better if I cut you out of my life
I won't lose myself to one such as you
I refuse to let your toxic behavior change who I am
I was so lost before we had met
I was searching for something meaningful before I found you
Clarity in my life, so genuine
You brought clarity and meaning into my life
I'll stick with you until the very end
I'm committed to being with you through thick and thin
Give me a moment, a moment just to focus
I need to take a breather and refocus my thoughts
On the light in front of me
I need to focus on what's important and positive in my life
Clearing my dizzy headspace
I need to clear my head and think with clarity
With what's truly right for me
I need to focus on what's best for me and my well-being
I've been trying to pick my own brain
I've been trying to figure things out on my own
But I found all the answers in you
But I realized that you're the one who gives me the clarity and answers I need
Who we are, near or far
No matter where we are or what happens, we'll always be us
Nothing will us tear us apart
Nothing can come between us
Write your name in the stars
Our love is everlasting and forever present
I will help you through pain
I will support you through difficult times
I will help you through struggle
I will be there for you through any obstacles
I will help you all life's banes
I will support you through all of life's hardships
Efforts never in vain
Our efforts to support each other are never pointless
We'll reach the end of the tunnel
We'll make it through tough times together
And we will face the new day
We'll face each new day with the strength and support of our love
When life challenges us
No matter what life throws at us
Just breathe and jump
We'll face it together with determination and bravery
Nothing will tear us apart (tear us apart)
Our love is unbreakable and nothing can come between us

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

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
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold?
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 tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep?
All my failings exposed
Gets a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
And it's something so good
Just can't function no more?
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 up apart again

“Love Will Tear Us Apart"
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.

Don’t tell me my love for you
Isn’t enough to fill your tank
My love for you is limitless and free
It’s the container at stake
My love for you is poured out with no reservation
It’s poured out to overflowing
But you spill it on the floor demurring
“Too cold,” and “Not quite hot”
Don’t tell me how to love you
And then when I do, push me away
Don’t tell me how you need to feel loved
And when I do “you’re just trying to have your way”
Don’t tell me you love me and that I’m your favorite
When who I am deep inside
Makes your temperature rise
I can’t jump that high; my love weighs me down
I can’t measure up; my love weighs me down
I can’t get it right; my love weighs me down
I can’t
I’ve tried
I can’t
I’ve tried
I’ve tried
You just won’t
I can love you again
Show me where it hurts
Tell me how I can...
No, wait...
Don’t tell me

Love, love will tear us apart again
Then love, love will tear it apart again
Love, love will tear it apart again

love how they accidentally made the best cover of this song...
gevansmd
Not really. Try June Tabor or the two versions by The Swans, or even Nouvelle Vague.
Aida Myers
@jmercaldo guess soo, because imo this version doesn’t fit the somber lyrics & tone of the original Joy Division song.
jmercaldo
@Aida Myers I never heard of Evelyn Evelyn, so searched for their cover after I saw your comment. I actually hated it. It is so blah. It's funny how people can both love a song, but have such differing opinions. That's what makes us each unique!
Aida Myers
evelyn evelyn cover is much better IMO they really make the song there own unlike 99% of the covers of this song .
jmercaldo
Far beter version to the original. Hands down, a million times better. That's something I really never say! I typically always think the original is the best. The only other exception I can think of is Dar Williams' version of Better Things. And I love The Kinks!!

For those whom havent seen the movie to give this scene some context. He has been sorta seeing the girl who he is singing to but he hasnt played music so she could hear. She has wanted him to play and has said so many times. She signed him up for an open mic and I think he didnt know or may have. She basically gave him a put up or shut up opportunity. He then unleashes this version of one of my favorite songs. This song doesnt tug at my heart strings it tightly grasps them and rips them out to show me what exists underneath. And this version is hauntingly perfect.

Also i have the exact same feeling i love joy divisions version but when i saw this movie WOW i cant stop listening to it he sings with so much emotion
Jasmin van Emmerloot
And that he saw the joy division logo on her jacket so played her this song was pretty cool. And then she didnt listen so he sang louder en she was like “😳” 😂😂
oots
