I can't seem to find the ways to solve the inverse laplace transform of: \(\displaystyle \, \dfrac{s^2\, +\, 2}{s^2\, +\, 2s\, +\, 5}\)

I used completing square to make it become: \(\displaystyle \, \dfrac{s^2\, +\, 2}{(s\, +\, 1)^2\, +\, 4}\)

The inverse laplace transform of: \(\displaystyle \, \dfrac{2}{(s\, +\, 1)^2\, +\, 4}\)
is e-t sin2t.

I am struck with: \(\displaystyle \, \dfrac{s^2}{(s\, +\, 1)^2\, +\, 4}\)

I do not know what to do next.

The final answer is ?(t) -(e-t/2 )(4cos2t + sin2t). However, I don't understand what the Dirac delta function is for. Can you guys help me? Thanks in advance.
