Honesty by Billy Joel

If you search for tenderness,

It isn't hard to find

You can have the love you (1)________ to live

But if you look for truthfulness,

You might just as well be blind

It always (2)__________ to be so hard to give



Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly (3)________ heard

And mostly (4)________ I need from you



I can (5)____________ find someone

To say they sympathize

If I wear my heart out on my sleeve

But I don't want some pretty face

To (6)________ 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

Whoa whoa



When I'm deep (7)____________ of me,

Don't be too concerned

I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone

But (8)________ I want sincerity,

Tell me, where else can I turn?

'Cause you're the one that I depend upon



Honesty is (9)________ a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I need from you
