"Honesty" - Billy Joel
I have no idea how this song came to mind. It didn't play on the radio while I was fighting traffic during rush hour. It didn't play in the background of some movie that happened to be on TV. No one was singing it aloud to the point where it got stuck in my head beyond my control. I don't even own the CD or have it downloaded on my computer. And yet, here it is.
I actually love Billy Joel, but there are so many other songs he sang that got to me so it's strange that of all the ones I've listened to, this is the one that made it to this site. But I did say that I'll write about the first song that enters my brain and exits my mouth.
And this made the cut...honestly.
Lyrics:
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
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
Until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again
I know, I know
When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned
I wont ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Because you're the one that I depend upon
