people can't be honest because they used to 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 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 seem 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 loney 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



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 mostly what I need from you
