**(Verse 1 – Nostalgic & Reflective)** I see the shadows where we used to stand, Dreams slipping through my open hands. I thought forever was our fate, But now I’m lost, standing at the gate. The world keeps spinning, nights grow cold, I’m chasing memories, stories untold. I see ships sailing in the sky, Just like us, they wave goodbye. --- **(Pre-Chorus – Yearning & Emotional)** I want to stay, right where we were, In a place where love would always endure. But time moves fast, it slips away, Leaving me here, in yesterday. --- **(Chorus – Powerful & Poignant)** Ships in the sky, drifting so far, I wish upon every fading star. I want to stay where love was real, But all I have is what I feel. I see your face in every dream, Caught between what was and what could’ve been. Ships in the sky, sailing away, Taking my heart with them each day. --- **(Verse 2 – Poetic & Melancholic)** I walk alone through empty streets, Listening to echoes of our heartbeat. I close my eyes, but you’re not there, Just a whisper fading in the air. I try to stay, to hold on tight, But shadows vanish with the light. You were my world, my only home, Now I’m just a soul that roams. --- **(Chorus – Powerful & Poignant)** Ships in the sky, drifting so far, I wish upon every fading star. I want to stay where love was real, But all I have is what I feel. I see your face in every dream, Caught between what was and what could’ve been. Ships in the sky, sailing away, Taking my heart with them each day. --- **(Bridge – Emotional & Uplifting)** (Soft piano, atmospheric pads, emotional build-up.) I want to stay, but you’ve moved on, Left me here to face the dawn. I watch the ships as they disappear, Hoping you’ll feel me somewhere near. You were my hope, my guiding light, Now you’re a shadow lost in the night. I try to breathe, to carry on, But my heart’s where you belong. --- **(Final Chorus – Emotional & Powerful)** Ships in the sky, drifting so far, I wish upon every fading star. I want to stay where love was real, But all I have is what I feel. I see your face in every dream, Caught between what was and what could’ve been. Ships in the sky, sailing away, Taking my heart with them each day. --- **(Outro – Poetic & Bittersweet)** Ships in the sky, fading from view, Just like my love, drifting to you. I’ll stay here, beneath this endless sea, Hoping you’ll remember… you were everything to me. ---
