Honesty by Billy Joel

If you search for tenderness,

It isn't hard to find

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

But if you look for truthfulness,

You (2)__________ just as (3)________ be blind

It always seems to be so hard to give



Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly (4)________ 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 (5)________ is someone to believe



Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly (6)________ heard

And (7)____________ what I (8)________ from you



I can find a lover

I can find a friend

I can (9)________ 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 else can I turn?

'Cause you're the one that I depend upon



Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is (10)____________ ever heard

And mostly what I need from you
