~VERSE~
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
~PRE-CHORUS~
In a world full of bitter pain bitter doubt
I was trying so hard to fit in to fit in
Until I found out that
~CHORUS~
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
~VERSE~
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
~PRE-CHORUS~
We're still chasing our tails in the rising sun
And our dark water planet's still spinning in a race where no one wins
And no one's won see
~CHORUS~
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) I don't belong here 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 won't you let me down
Yeah let my foolish pride forever let me down
~BRIDGE~
Ah easy living you're not much like the name
Easy dying hey you look just about the same
Will 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
Hey let us sing one true tune yeah
~OUTRO-CHORUS~
I don't belong here no I don't belong here
Now I don't belong here feels like I don't belong here yeah
I don't belong feels like I don't belong here
No I don't belong here would you let me down
Come and let me down you always let me down
So glad that I'm let down yeah yeah come on and let me down
'Cause I don't belong here please won't you let me down
