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 ask for nothin' while I'm gone...
But when I want sincerity, tell me, where else can I turn?
Because you're the only one that I depend on...
-esty is such a lonely word;
Everyone is so untrue...
Honesty is hardly ever heard,
And mostly what I need from you....
