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).

    Farewell Mona Lisa

    Wash it down the drain 
    Down the drain 
    Wash your smile down 
    (Yeah!) 
    Wash it down the drain 
    Please 
    Like animals, destined for fuel or observance 
    Our role is clear, never stray far from the path

    Everything has an end 
    Everything has an end 
    Everything must have an end

    But what am I supposed to say? 
    (What am I supposed to say?) 
    Oh, sorry, I guess I forgot 
    You think you could tell me again? 
    (Please, I don’t remember) 
    What am I supposed to think? 
    (What am I supposed to think?) 
    What am I supposed to feel? 
    (What am I supposed to feel?)

    There’s no feeling in this place 
    The echoes of the past speak louder than 
    Any voice I hear right now 
    Don’t you ever try to be 
    More than you were destined for 
    Or anything worth fighting for 
    Don’t you ever try to be 
    More than you were destined for 
    Or anything worth fighting for 
    There’s no feeling in this place 
    There’s no feeling in this place 
    Feeling in this place

    What did you expect? 
    That we would never leave home, that we would never leave? 
    What did you expect? 
    That we would never leave home? 
    That we would never leave? 
    That we would never leave? 
    That we would never leave? 
    That we would never leave? 
    What did you expect from us? 
    We’re murderers 
    Murderers and liars and rapists and thieves 
    You should never put your trust in any of us 
    There is nothing to gain from this interference

    Don’t you ever try to be 
    More than you were destined for 
    Or anything worth fighting for 
    There’s no feeling in this place

    The past speaks louder than anything I hear right now 
    The past speaks louder than anything I hear right now
