Caro Emerald - Black Valentine lyrics

Who needs a captain on a lover's ship?
Someone with no clue of the destination due
Well 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 lies
Secret lovers, it’s just your place or mine
A smoke and some wine is the
Life of the Black Valentine

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 carries dreams from scream to scream
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 the Black Valentine

This is their lament for another
Night they've spend 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 the Black Valentine
