[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
