The Beautiful Letdown

Lyrics

It was a beautiful letdown
 When I crashed and burned
 When I found myself alone unknown and hurt
 It was a beautiful letdown
 The day I knew
 That all the riches this world had to offer me would never do
 In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt
 I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in
 Until I found out
 I don't belong here (I don't belong)
 I don't belong here (I don't belong)
 I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong
 But I don't belong
 ♪
 It was a beautiful letdown
 When you found me here
 Yeah, for once in a rare blue moon, I see everything clear
 I'll be a beautiful letdown
 That's what I'll forever be
 And though it may cost my soul, I'll sing for free
 We're still chasing our tails and the rising sun
 And our dark water planet's still spinning in a race
 Where no one wins and no one's one
 I don't belong here (I don't belong)
 I don't belong here (I don't belong)
 I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong
 But I don't belong
 I don't belong here (I don't belong)
 I don't belong here (I don't belong)
 I'm gonna set sight and set sail for the kingdom come
 Kingdom come
 Your kingdom come
 Won't you let me down?
 Let my foolish pride forever let me down
 
 Easy living, not much like your name
 Easy dying, you look just about the same
 Won't you please take me off your list?
 Easy living, please come on and let me down
 ♪
 We are a beautiful letdown
 Painfully uncool
 The church of the dropouts
 The losers, the sinners, the failures and the fools
 Oh, what a beautiful letdown
 Are we salt in the wound
 Let us sing one true tune
 I don't belong here (I don't belong)
 I don't belong here (I don't belong)
 I don't belong here (I don't belong)
 Feels like I don't belong here
 I don't belong here (I don't belong)
 Feels like I don't belong here
 I don't belong
 Would you let me down?
 Common let me down
 Always let me down
 Feels like I'm let down
 Common let me down
 'Cause I don't belong here
 Please won't you let me down?
