Lyrics:

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 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)
I will 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
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
In the rising sun
In our dark water planet still spinning
In a direction no one wins
No one's won.

See, I don't belong here (I don't belong)
Well, I don't belong here, I don't belong
I will carry a cross
With 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 side
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

Ah, Easy living, you're not much like the name
Easy dying, you look just about the same
Would you please take me off your list
Easy living please c'mon 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 the wound
Hey, let us sing one true tune

I don't belong here (I don't belong)
It feels like I don't belong here, yeah
It goes like I don't belong here
I 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 here
Won't you let me down!

  • @YGregorovich I say christian meaning any christian ideoligy based religion. Such as baptist, methodist, etc. or any other organized religious groups. Although I do think it's great that some people find support for their spirituality in such systems.

  • @theviolentviolet1 Christianity isn't a religion. =P

  • @Pareod375 I agree. Im not even Christian but I love and apreciate the meaning of this song. Glad to see other people can see past labels :) Spirituality does not belong to one religion.

  • love this band so much <3

  • M0:00RE

  • Vice Verses exploded my brain with awesomeness!!!!!!!!

  • @matthewflores DUDE! I FOUND IT! I FOUND THE SONG! it's 'on fire' LOL. I clicked on it to get to Switchfoot - meant to live, and I was like, wait a second, I know this song! Haha. Just thought I would let you know! :D

  • @stgredfang I never said it wasn't christian, just saying there's more to it. I loved Switchfoot before I knew they were christian because their music was awesome (: I don't really care what genre they are or what they stand for but their music is still awesome

  • @stgredfang So what? It doesn't matter if you're a christian. What's wrong from looking at it from a nonchristian view? I'm a christian. But I agree with @Pareod375 . There's more to the song. Yes, it has its christian meaning. But there's also deeper meanings within it.
