The Beautiful Letdown

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
It was a beautiful letdownWhen I crashed and burnedWhen I found myself aloneUnknown and hurtIt was a beautiful letdownThe day I knewThat all the riches this world had to offer meWould never doIn a world full of bitter painAnd bitter doubtsI was trying so hard to fit inFit in, until I found outI don't belong here (I don't belong)I don't belong here (I don't belong)I will carry a cross and a songWhere I don't belongI don't belongIt was a beautiful letdownWhen You found me hereYeah, for once in a rare blue moonI see everything clearI'll be a beautiful letdownThat's what I'll forever beAnd though it may cost my soulI'll sing for freeWe're still chasing our tailsIn the rising sunIn our dark water planet still spinningIn a direction no one winsNo one's won.See, I don't belong here (I don't belong)Well, I don't belong here, I don't belongI will carry a crossWith a song where I don't belongI don't belongI don't belong here (I don't belong)No, I don't belong here, I don't belongI'm gonna set sideAnd set sailFor the kingdom come, kingdom comeYour kingdom comeWon't you let me down, yeahLet my foolish pride forever let me downAh, Easy living, you're not much like the nameEasy dying, you look just about the sameWould you please take me off your listEasy living please c'mon and let me downWe are a beautiful letdownPainfully uncoolThe church of the dropoutsThe losers, the sinners, the failures, and the foolsWhat a beautiful letdownAre we salt in the woundHey, let us sing one true tuneI don't belong here (I don't belong)It feels like I don't belong here, yeahIt goes like I don't belong hereI 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)’Cause I don't belong hereWon't you let me down!
