Billy Joel Honesty Lyrics

Honesty Lyrics

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.
Honesty 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.
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 as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me
where else can I turn.
Because you're the one 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.
