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 (1)________ to give



Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I need from you



I can always find someone

To say they sympathize

If I wear my (2)__________ out on my sleeve

But I don't want some (3)____________ face

To tell me pretty lies

All I want is someone to believe



Honesty is such a (4)____________ word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is (5)____________ ever heard

And (6)____________ what I need from you



I can (7)________ a lover

I can find a friend

I can (8)________ 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 hardly ever heard

And (9)____________ what I need from you
