If you search for - tenderness(1)
it isn't hard to find.
You can have the - love(2)
you need to live.
But if you look for - truthfulness(3)
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.
Honesty is such a - lonely(4)
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(5) .
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me - pretty(6) lies.
All I want is someone to believe.
When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too - concerned(7) .
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want - sincerity(8)
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(9) ever
heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
