most human beings are inescapably alone,
and therein lies their tragedy.

loves bossa nova, jazz, oldies, indie pop. she's a lazy bum and all she wants is to stay in bed and watch classic american films all day. her dreams? entrepreneur / photographer / interior designer... oh and lets not forget her ultimate goal : C'est La Vie - a cafe cum art galley for those seeking an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling city.

Billy Joel - 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.


Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
