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 just as well be blind

It always seems to be so hard to give



Honesty is (1)________ a (2)____________ word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And (3)____________ what I (4)________ (5)________ you



I can (6)____________ (7)________ someone

To say (8)________ sympathize

If I wear my heart out on my sleeve

But I don't want some pretty face

To tell me (9)____________ lies

All I (10)________ is someone to believe



Honesty is (11)________ a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is (12)____________ ever heard

And mostly what I need (13)________ you



I can find a lover

I can find a friend

I can (14)________ security

Until the (15)____________ end

Anyone can (16)______________ me

With promises again

I know, I know

Whoa whoa



When I'm (17)________ (18)____________ of me,

Don't be too concerned

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

But (19)________ I want sincerity,

Tell me, where else can I turn?

'Cause you're the one (20)________ I depend upon



Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And (21)____________ what I (22)________ from you
