If you search for tenderness
It isnt 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 dont 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 Im deep inside of me
Dont be too concerned
I wont ask for nothin
while Im gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Because youre 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 you
