Who needs a captain on a lover's ship? Someone with no clue of the destination, do I? Ain't that a trip? Who needs a diamond on a hand of stone? Someone with a 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 lives Secret lovers It's just your place or mine A smoke and some wine is the life of a black valentine Who needs the 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 Till 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 lives 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 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 lives 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
