< Intro: piano >

If you search for tenderness 
It isn't hard to fa-aind,
You can have the love you nee-ed to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind -
It always seems to be so hard to gi-ve.

Honesty is such a lonely wo-ord...
Everyone is so untru-ue...
Honeste-ey is hardly ever he-eard
And mostly what I need from you-u.

I can always find someone
To say they sympatha-aize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty la-aies,
All I want is someone to beli-eve.

Honesty is such a lonely wo-ord...
Everyone is so untru-ue...
Honeste-ey is hardly ever he-eard
'n mostly what I need from you-u.

< Bridge: piano >

I can find a lover, I can find a friend,
I can have security until the bitter e-e-end.
Anyone can comfort me with promises again.
I know (I know), I kno-u-ou-o-ow...

When I'm deep inside of me 
Don't be too conce-erned,
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone,
But when I want sincerity -
Tell me where else can I tu-u-urn?
'Cause you're the one that I depend upo-o-o-

-honesty is such a lonely wo-ord...
Everyone is so untru-ue...
Honeste-ey is hardly ever he-e-eard
And mostly what I need from you-u.
