Honesty - Billy Joel Lyrics

Honesty

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
Chorus :       

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

Repeat Chorus :

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
cause you're the one that i depend upon

Repeat Chorus……
