| Lyrics |
| 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 -- Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
You cry out in your sleep - all my failings expose
