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 
Cause you're the only one that I depend on 

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