Honesty by Billy Joel

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 (1)________ 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 (2)____________ what I need from you



I can always (3)________ someone

To say they sympathize

If I wear my heart out on my sleeve

But I don't want some (4)____________ face

To tell me pretty lies

All I want is (5)______________ to believe



Honesty is (6)________ a (7)____________ 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

Whoa whoa



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 (8)________ can I turn?

'Cause you're the one that I depend upon



Honesty is such a (9)____________ word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I (10)________ from you
