Billy Joel – Honesty – 1979

    Paroles

    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 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 don’t 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
    Anyone can comfort me
    With promises again
    I know, I know

    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 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
