Why "Honesty" is such a lonely word,
people can't be honest
because they used to be dishonest?
Or because protecting someone you love
so you can't be honest,
or because you have difficulties
so you can't be honest.
If you search for tenderness
It isnt 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 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 heart out on my sleeve
But I dont want some pretty face
To tell 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
With promises again
I know, I know
When Im deep inside of me
Dont be too concerned
I wont ask for nothin while Im gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Cause youre the one that I depend upon
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
