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
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
Honest is hardly ever heard
And mostly what
I need from you
I can always find someone
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
Honest 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 nothin'
while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
Because you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty is such a
lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honest is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from yo
