"The Beautiful Letdown"

by Switchfoot
Album: Live - EP

It was a beautiful letdown
When I crashed and burned
When I found myself alone
Unknown and hurt

What 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

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 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
In our dark water planet still spinning
In a direction no one wins and no one's won

Yeah, I don't belong here (I don't belong)
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)
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
I'm gonna set sight and set sail
For the kingdom come, the kingdom come
Won't you let me down'
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

Let me down...

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 your wound'
Come on sing one true tune

'Cuz I don't belong here (I don't belong)
See, I don't belong here (I don't belong)
See, I don't belong here (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)...
