Honesty ...

well, I'm not really a big fans of Billy Joel actually ..... but somehow some of his song really stuck in my brain ... and sometimes it can comes over again and again ..... sometimes I can really get bored with that, but there will always a time I listen to it again like crazy ..... especially this song ..... a really old song, but probably the first Joel's song that I heard (and like) ...... it's about expecting something from the closest one ..... for me, somehow this song sounds a little bit cynical .... mainly the person in this song feels that he can expect something, but also doubt whether he will meet his expectation (Honesty is hardly ever heard and mostly what I need from you) ........

well, sometimes you think that can expect something from the closest person to you, because you feel it gives you the rights .... .. but sometimes , even that cannot guarantee you will get what you expect .... even it is only a simple honesty ... sometimes, it is difficult to get ........sometimes it can tear you apart ...... and sometimes ... it is not an easy thing to forget ....

Good night world, probably I can find some honesty out there, behind the horizon .....




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.

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.
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 as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
Because you're the one 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.
