The Beautiful Letdown Songtext
von Switchfoot

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
All the riches this world had to offer me
Would 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)
Gonna 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
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
And our dark water planet′s still spinning
In a race that no one wins and
No one's won

I don′t belong here (I don't belong)
I don't belong here (I don′t belong)
Gonna carry a cross and 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 sight And set sail
For the kingdom come, kingdom come

Your kingdom come (I don't belong here)
Won't you let me down?
Let my foolish pride forever let me down


Ah, easy living, you′re not much your the name
Easy dying, 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 dropouts, the losers,
The sinners, the failures, and the fools

What a beautiful letdown
Are we salt in your wound?
Let us sing one true tune
I don′t belong here (I don't belong)
I don′t belong here (I don't belong)

Won′t you let me down?
Please won't you let me down
