War Of Nerves

(album: All Saints - 1998)

[Shaznay:]
Monday on the line
When you know that now's the time
To leave and be free
Aware of your destiny
When that moment arrives
Wild visions through the mind
And all I see is what used to be
My life could soon be a memory

[Shaznay (Natalie):]
I don't ever wanna feel pain
(Wanna be ready when you call my name)
I don't ever wanna feel fear
'Cause every night feels alright when you're near

[Melanie (Nicole):]
Battle through this war of nerves
When your life, it takes a turn
And what I have is what I fear
While in my mind, you're lying here
(Fear that unholy dread)
(There's a piece of me in all he says)
(All kinds of weird stuff inside my head)
(The stage fright in my own bed)

[Shaznay (Melanie) {Natalie}:]
(I don't ever wanna feel pain)
{Wanna be ready when you call my name}
(I don't ever wanna feel fear)
'Cause every night feels alright when you're near

[Natalie (Shaznay):]
Don't wanna be like a voice without words
('Cause I need you here with me)
Don't wanna be alone in this world
(Will I suppress my fear)
And will I beat this war of nerves?

[Shaznay (Melanie) {Natalie}:]
(I don't ever wanna feel pain)
{Wanna be ready when you call my name}
(I don't ever wanna feel fear)
'Cause every night feels alright when you're near

(I don't ever wanna feel pain)
{When it's over, will I feel the same?}
(I don't ever wanna feel fear)
This war of nerves that I reserve for when you're here

(I don't ever wanna feel pain)
{I'm feeling hurt, but I feel no shame}
(I don't ever wanna feel fear)
Do I deserve these cruel words we have here?
