Honesty Songtext
von Angela Chang

Why "Honesty" is such a lonely word

People can′t be honest
Because they used to be dishonest
Or because protecting someone you love
So you can't be honest
Or because you have difficulties
So you can′t be honest

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
With promises again
I know, I know

When I′m deep inside of me
Don′t be too concerned
I won't ask for nothing while I′m gone
When I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
'Cause you′re the one that 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
