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 



[Chorus:]

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 



[Chorus]



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 

Because 

You're the one 

That I depend upon 



[Chorus]
