Billy Joel - Honesty

Staying at home and studying all day long is not fun at all. My school life was over, so I need to spend time like today until I pass NCLEX. :/ I didn't have any idea for my blogging today, so I decided to write about a song which I am familiar with. I have listened to the song, Honesty by Bill Joel, in Japan many times. This song was pretty popular over there and has often been used in many Japanese commercials. The song was released in 1979, and many artists has covered this song, such as Beyonce and Angela Aki.

Billy Joel / Honesty

Lyrics


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.
Because 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.
