Honesty

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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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.
Cuz you're the one that I depend upon.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so [bad word] 
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
