A thousand paper cranes they say
Will bring you good luck
Will take away your pain
And heal your broken heart
A thousand paper cranes lie lifeless
Empty as if they have no soul
Empty as if they would forget to fly
Forget to deliver your wishes
A thousand paper cranes don’t really know
Truth inside my soul
Truth through out this world
For their nothing but paper folds
A thousand paper cranes distracted you
Meant nothing to us all
Meant you had a way to forget
Forget their lifeless paper cranes
A thousand paper cranes lie here
Yet its to them I hang onto
Yet its never going to free me
So I clutch to that empty promise
