Who needs a captain
On a lover's ship?
Someone with no clue
Of the destination due
Wow, 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

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

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 or mine
A smoke and some wine
Is the life of a Black Valentine

Who needs a journey
On a runaway train?
Your ticket isn't worth
Half of what it hurts
When heartbeats overwork

Who needs redemption
From a guiltless crime?
Someone carries dreams
From seam to seam
Til they tear apart your mind

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

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 or mine
A smoke and some wine
Is the life of a Black Valentine

This is their lament
For another night they've spent
In self-conversation
It's a will they can't oppose
In a letter left they've composed
To repeat the situation
They lie in a loop

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 or mine
A smoke and some wine
Is the life of a Black Valentine
