If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love
you need to live
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
say they sympathize
If I wear my heart
out on my sleeve
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
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
