1000 Cranes

One by one, it goes away.
Beyond the music that I play,
I find the silence that I seek
That perfect solace that leaves me weak

I fall into myself, the perfect dreams
Dreaming rainbows of any hue
I'm free from you, it seems
But yet, I'm wondering why I'm now so blue

As the little cranes gather up,
letting go isn't so tough.
One by one, it goes away.
Soon I'll escape these chains, and fly away

Folding paper here and there
School, home, anywhere
To me, it doesn't matter anymore
My heart no longer feels so sore

With everyone that's created
With everyone that takes flight
I can no longer feel your hatred
With this pile of growing white

As the little cranes gather up
Letting go isn't so tough
One by one, you float away
Soon I'll escape these chains, and fly away

To think I thought you deserved me
To think I thought you needed love
It turns out that you aren't sorry
These little cranes like little doves

One Thousand little cranes
Piling up on your door
I wonder if your cheeks can ever stain
You'll see that you've missed me before

And I'm not coming back
Anymore

As the little cranes gather up
Letting go isn't so tough
One by one, the love goes away
Soon I'll break your chains and fly away
