how can i be sure?
when your intrusion is my illusion
how can i be sure
when all the time you changed my mind
i asked for more and more
how can i be sure

when you don't give me love
you give me pale shelter
you don't give me love
you give me cold hands
and i can't operate on this failure
when all i want to be is
completely in command

how can i be sure
for all you say you keep me waiting
how can i be sure
when all you do is see me through
i asked for more and more
how can i be sure

when you don't give me love
you give me pale shelter
you don't give me love
you give me cold hands
and i can't operate on this failure
when all i want to be is
completely in command

i've been here before
there is no why, no need to try
i thought you had it all
i'm calling you, i'm calling you
i ask for more and more
how can i be sure

when you don't give me love
you give me pale shelter
you don't give me love
you give me cold hands
and i can't operate on this failure
when all i want to be is
completely in command

you don't give me love
you don't give me love
