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 the 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
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
That's what I'll forever be
And though it may cost me my soul
I'll sing for free
We're still chasing our tails
And the rising sun
And our dark water planet
Still spins in a race
Where no one wins
And no one's one
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I'm gonna set sight
And set sail for the kingdom come
Your kingdom
Won't you let me down!
Let my foolish pride forever let me down
What a beautiful letdown
Painfully uncool
The church of the dropouts, the losers
The sinners, the failures, the fools
What a beautiful letdown
Are we salt in the wound?
Let us sing one true tune
