Switchfoot - 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 
That 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, 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 beautful 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 in the rising sun 
In our dark water planet still spinning in a race where 
No one wins and no one's won 

See I don't belong here 
I don't belong, I don't belong 
I will carry a cross and a song 
Where I don't belong, I don't belong 
I don't belong here, I don't belong here 
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 yeah 
Let my foolish pride 
Forever let me down 

Ah, easy living, you're not much like your name 
Easy dying, hey you look just about the same 
Would 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 drop outs, the losers, the sinners, the failures, and the fools 
Oh what a beautiful letdown 
Are we salt in the wound 
Hey, let us sing one true tune, yeah 

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) 
Yeah I don't belong here (I don't belong) 
Cuz I don't belong here (I don't belong) 
No I don't belong 

Would you let me down 
Come on and let me down 
You always let me down 
So glad that I'm let down, yeah 

Come on and let me down 
Cuz I don't belong to you 
Please 
Won't you let me down?
