I was going to make both of you proud, and stand out from the nameless crowd. I had grand ideas, things I was gonna do. No big deal, I was only passing through. Everyone tells me that life is tough. I guess I was not good enough. Things didn't go as I wanted them to. It's OK, I was just passin' through. I could have been the one to offer you more, but it doesn't matter much anymore. Things could've worked out better between us two. Don't worry. I was only passing through. I've lost my inspiration, goals, and pride. I'm getting awfully tired of this ride. I'm ready for heaven, let me join the queue. See you later. I was only passing through.
