For me it's:

Crossing that bridge, with lessons I've learned
Playing with fire and not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space between me and you.

Prayer for the Dying, by Seal (1994).

Hello my friend. Sorry for the late reply.

I recognised the Finnish writing, even though I only know some basics, and I listened to the song.

Thanks for sharing how significant the lyrics are for you. I’m sorry for your struggle. It was a problem for me in my twenties and I was lucky to be able to mostly deal with it (therapy + medication + positive life experiences). I know many others are not so lucky.

I hope you choose to continue to stay for the beauty, in spite of the struggle.
