Some things are best left unsaid
Some heroes are best left unsung
Raffles on Capri is an exclusive gated community in Australia, where the residents are left in calm, tranquility and peace to pursue life, liberty; and happiness.
Not everything that’s sung about it is about heroes.1
To think my heroes [hero’s] lied
Santa Claus was never a good disguise
Wond’ring where it all went wrong
Father and son never seemed so wrong
Snowy white houses
Freezing cold lovers
It’s all I see—Raffles on Capri
[Is] lying to me, lying to me
Insecurity never seemed so right
The heart is running at the sound of his beat
Send me one of your white lights
It’s all I need to keep me going through the night
Raffles on Capri keeps lying to me
Think his smile a mere mask, knowing that everything’s not all right [indistinct]
Searching for a long lost love, believing that Santa won’t come tonight
[Snowy white houses
Freezing cold lovers]
It’s all I see—Raffles on Capri
Lying to me, lying to me
Insecurity[/ies/y’s] never seemed so right
The heart is running at the sound of his beat
Send me one of your white lights
It’s all I need to keep me going through the night
Raffles on Capri keeps lying to me
Running faster than before
Close your eyes ’cause I know that I won’t, no, I won’t let you[, let you] fall
Dream away to that place that you go, no one else will know
Snowy white houses
Freezing cold lovers
[’Cause] It’s all I see—Raffles on Capri
[Is] lying to me, lying to me
Insecurity’s never seemed so right
The heart is running at the sound of his beat
Send me one of your white lights
It’s all I need to keep me going through the night
Raffles on Capri keeps lying and lying to me
It keeps lying to me
