Honesty by Billy Joel

If you search for tenderness,

It isn't (1)________ to find

You can have the love you need to live

But if you (2)________ for truthfulness,

You might (3)________ as well be blind

It always seems to be so hard to give



Honesty is (4)________ a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly (5)________ I need from you



I can (6)____________ (7)________ someone

To say (8)________ sympathize

If I wear my heart out on my sleeve

But I don't (9)________ some pretty face

To tell me (10)____________ lies

All I (11)________ is (12)______________ to believe



Honesty is (13)________ a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And (14)____________ what I need (15)________ you



I can find a lover

I can find a friend

I can have security

Until the bitter end

Anyone can (16)______________ me

With promises again

I know, I know

Whoa whoa



When I'm (17)________ inside of me,

Don't be too concerned

I won't ask for nothin' (18)__________ I'm gone

But (19)________ I want sincerity,

Tell me, where (20)________ can I turn?

'Cause you're the one (21)________ I depend upon



Honesty is (22)________ a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is (23)____________ ever heard

And mostly what I need (24)________ you
