War - Alesha Dixon

I just needed a minute

I just needed some breathing space

I just needed a moment

To get my head straight

I’ve been feeling it all and

I just wanted to let it out

All I need is a moment

Before I breakdown

Once upon a time this would pull me under

But I know, I know these feelings come and go cause

Once upon a time the fear would have won but

Now I know, I know I can do this on my own

It burns, it burns, but it keeps me warm

I’ve been here before I know what I’m doing

It burns, it burns, but it keeps me warm

I’ve been here before I know how to win this war

I’ve been here before I know how to win this war

All I need is some time, you know I wrote the book on surviving

And I’ll never stop fighting, but needed reminding

Taken so many bullets the holes are just letting the light in

Keep letting the light in and I won’t breakdown

Once upon a time this would pull me under

But I know, I know these feelings come and go cause

Once upon a time the fear would have won but

Now I know, I know I can do this on my own

It burns, it burns, but it keeps me warm

I’ve been here before I know what I’m doing

It burns, it burns, but it keeps me warm

I’ve been here before I know how to win this war

I’ve been here before I know how to win this war

I’ve been here before I know how to win this war

Once upon a time this would’ve pulled me under

And it makes me wonder if I had walked away

Standing in the mirror would I still see someone I can rely on

Stronger because of yesterday

It burns, it burns, but it keeps me warm

I’ve been here before I know what I’m doing

It burns, it burns, but it keeps me warm

I’ve been here before I know how to win this war

I’ve been here before I know how to win this war

I’ve been here before I know how to win this war…
