Honesty - Billy joel

 

If you search for tenderness, it isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
And if you look for truthfulness
you might just as well be blind
it always seems to be so hard to give

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard,
but mostly what I need from you

I can always find some one to say they sympathize
if I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard,
but mostly what I need from you

I can find a lover, I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me with promises again.
I know, I know, I know, wo, wo

When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone
when I want sincerity,
tell me, where else can I true?
'Cause you're the one,
the one that I depend upon

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard,
but mostly what I need from you
