Honesty Lyrics - Beyoncé

1 If you search for tenderness, it isn't hard to find;

2 You can have the love you need to live...

3 But if you look for truthfulness, you might just as well be blind -

4 It always seems to be so hard to give...

5 Honesty is such a lonely word;

6 Everyone is so untrue...

7 Honesty is hardly ever heard,

8 And mostly what I need from you...

9 I can always find someone to say they sympathize

10 If I wear my heart out on my sleeve...

11 But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies;

12 All I want is someone to believe...

13 Honesty is such a lonely word;

14 Everyone is so untrue...

15 Honesty is hardly ever heard,

16 And mostly what I need from you...

17 I can find a lover, I can find a friend;

18 I can have security until the bitter end...

19 Anyone can comfort me with promises again, I know...

20 When I'm deep inside of me, don't be too concerned;

21 I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone...

22 But when I want sincerity, tell me, where else can I turn,

23 When you're the one that I depend upon?

24 -esty is such a lonely word;

25 Everyone is so untrue...

26 Honesty is hardly ever heard;

27 Mostly what I need from you...
