BEYONCE KNOWLES LYRICS - Honesty

"Honesty"



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



[Chorus:]

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



[Chorus]



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 won't 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



[Chorus]
