Beautiful Letdown

Switchfoot

4

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 here

I will carry a cross and a song

where 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

thats 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 one

see I don't belong here

I don't belong here

I will carry a cross and a song

where I don't belong

I don't belong here

I don't belong here

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

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

and let us sing one true tune

I don't belong here

I don't belong here

I don't belong here

Feels like I don't belong here

Would you let me down

Come on and let me down

You always let me down

So glad that I'm let down

Come on and let me down

Cuz I don't belong to you

Please

Won't you let me down?
