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 will never do.

In a world full of bitter pain,

and bitter doubts,

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

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

In the rising sun

In our dark water planet

Still spins in a race

Where no one wins and no one’s won

See, I don't belong here

(I don't belong)

Well, I don't belong here, I don't belong

I will carry a cross

With a song where I don't belong

I don't belong

I don't belong here (I don't belong)

No, I don't belong here,

I don't belong

I'm gonna set side

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 the name

Easy dying, you look just about the same

Would you please take me off your list

Easy living please c'mon 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

What a beautiful letdown

Are we salt in the wound

Hey, let us sing one true tune

I don't belong here (I don't belong)

It feels like I don't belong here, yeah

It goes like I don't belong here

I don't belong (I don't belong)

Won't you let me down (I don't belong)

C'mon and let me down (I don't belong)

You always let me down (I don't belong)

So glad that I'm let down

(I don't belong)

C'mon and let me down (I don't belong)

Cuz I don't belong here

Won't you let me down!
