Lyrics:
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 wanna 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 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 wanna 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 wanna be is
Completely in command
(You don’t give me love)
(You don’t give me love)
(You don’t give me, give me love)

Trivia and Quotes:
"We have been heavily influenced by Tears For Fears’ impressive body of work and it was an honor to create a new version of one of our favorite songs. Matthew Dear immediately came to mind as an exciting collaborator and we were delighted when he said yes! Matthew had suggested we try a vocal riff off the top of the song, and I think it adds a nice signature and melody to the final track." - Sara in 2013
