The Beautiful Letdown

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, until I found out

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
and 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

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'm gonna set sight
and set sail for the kingdom come
Your kingdom come. Won't you let me down!
Let my foolish pride forever let me down
