Lyrics

[00:07.580] If you search for tenderness
[00:11.260] It isn't hard to find
[00:13.880] You can have the love you need to live
[00:19.980] But if you look for truthfulness
[00:24.400] You might just as well be blind
[00:27.470] It always seems to be so hard to give
[00:35.290] Honesty is such a lonely word
[00:42.540] Everyone is so untrue
[00:48.720] Honesty is hardly ever heard
[00:56.630] And mostly what I need from you
[01:04.380] I can always find someone
[01:08.090] To say they sympathize
[01:11.370] If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
[01:16.840] But I don't want some pretty face
[01:21.420] To tell me pretty lies
[01:24.800] All I want is someone to believe
[01:32.290] Honesty is such a lonely word
[01:39.690] Everyone is so untrue
[01:46.480] Honesty is hardly ever heard
[01:54.010] And mostly what I need from you
[02:04.770] I can find a lover
[02:08.310] I can find a friend
[02:11.560] I can have security
[02:14.830] Until the bitter end
[02:18.340] Anyone can comfort me
[02:21.800] With promises again
[02:24.970] I know' (I know) I know
[02:36.240] When I'm deep inside of me
[02:40.140] Don't be too concerned
[02:43.430] I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone
[02:49.610] But when I want sincerity
[02:53.450] Tell me where else can I turn
[02:56.870] Because you're the one that I depend upon
[03:05.280] Honesty is such a lonely word
[03:11.000] Everyone is so untrue
[03:16.880] Honesty is hardly ever heard
[03:25.040] And mostly what I need from you
