[Verse:] Who needs a captain on a love ship? Someone with no clue of the destination due bow Ain’t that a trip?
Who needs a diamond on a hand of stone? Someone with the hurt who couldn’t make it work, A trophy because you slipped
[Pre-Chorus:] Love can’t conquer anything If it’s lost without a trace You might be tough, you might even be strong But not when you’re in this place
[Chorus:] Secret lovers – get lost in the secrets they tell They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies Secret lovers – it’s just your place of mind A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
[Verse:] Who needs a journey on a runaway train? Your ticket isn’t worth half of what it hurts When heart beats overwork
Who needs redemption from a guiltless crime? Someone caries dreams from scene to scene Til they tear apart your mind
[Pre-Chorus 2:] Love can’t conquer anything If it’s hurting in the deep You’ll be awake, you’ll twist your fate That’s not someone you should keep
[Chorus:] Secret lovers – get lost in the secrets they tell They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies Secret lovers – it’s just your place of mind A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
[Bridge:] This is their demand for another night they spend in self-conversation It’s a will they came to pose in a letter left they’ve composed To repeat the situation They lie in a loop
[Chorus:] Secret lovers – get lost in the secrets they tell They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies Secret lovers – it’s just your place of mind A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
