Honesty

Honesty - Billy Joel

If you search for tenderness

It isn't hard to find

You can have the love you need to live

But if you look truthfulness

You might just do 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

And mostly what I need from you

I can always find someone

To say the sympathize

If I wear my heart out on my sleeve

But I don't want some pretty face

To tell on the pretty lies

All I want is someone to believe

Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And 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

When I'm deep inside of me

Don't be too concerned

I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone

But when I want sincerity

Tell me where else can I turn

Coz you're the one that I depend upon

Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I need from you
