Affirmation Lyrics - Affirmation - Beverley Knight

Intuition I could not ignore 

Came to help me in my time of danger 

Wasn't easy walking out the door 

But I knew any other place was safer 

And the freedom that I now enjoy 

Helps the bruises in my heart to face 

'Cause I know I am not afraid 

You can never feel the joy and pain 

That you've never known 

Far too much emotion to explain 

In a story that is not your own 

How you gonna try to sing the blues 

When the only key you know is major? 

Walk a mile in someone else's shoes 

And the ups and downs have got to change ya

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

You can't tell me that you understand 

'Til my bitter tears roll down your face 

'Til you're standing in my place 

You can never feel the joy and pain 

That you've never known 

Far too much emotion to explain 

In a story that is not your own 

Now I've got it together 

I will always remember 

Where I've been, where I'm going 

Why I'm here, why I'm living 

Now I've got it together 

There's no more desperation 

Only my affirmation 

To live for me

You can never feel the joy and pain 

That you've never known 

Far too much emotion to explain 

In a story that is not your own
