Joel, Billy - Honesty 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

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 ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Cause you're the one that 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

    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

    もしきみが「優しさ」を求めるのなら
    見つけるのはそんなに難しくない
    生きるのに必要な愛も手に入れられる
    でももしきみが「真実」を求めるのなら
    目が見えてないのと同じようなものさ
    いつだって真実を伝えるのはとても難しいんだ

    Honesty is such a lonely word
    Everyone is so untrue
    Honesty is hardly ever heard
    And mostly what I need from you

    「誠実」…なんて虚しい言葉なんだ
    誰もが正直じゃない世の中のなかで
    「誠実」…耳にすることはほとんどない言葉
    でもそれこそが僕がきみに求めたいものなんだ

    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

    いつだって誰か見つけることはできる
    「同情するよ」なんて言ってくれる人は
    僕が心のうちをそのまま口にすればいい
    でも可愛いい顔をして
    可愛い嘘をつくヤツなんてごめんだよ
    僕は望むのは信じられる相手なんだ

    Honesty is such a lonely word
    Everyone is so untrue
    Honesty is hardly ever heard
    And mostly what I need from you

    「誠実」…なんて虚しい言葉なんだ
    誰もが正直じゃない世の中のなかで
    「誠実」…耳にすることはほとんどない言葉
    でもそれこそが僕がきみに求めるものなんだ

    I can find a lover
    I can find a friend
    I can have security
    Until the bitter end

    恋人は見つけられる
    友だちも見つけられる
    安心して生きることもできる
    人生の終わりが来るまでね

    Anyone can comfort me
    With promises again
    I know, I know

    誰だって慰めてくれるんだ
    大丈夫さってまた約束してくれる
    わかってるさ
    わかってるんだ そんなこと

    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
    Cause you're the one that I depend upon

    僕が自分の内側に籠っちゃってても
    あまり構わないでいてくれよ
    そんなときは
    何もほしくないときなんだ
    でも「正直」な気持ちが聞きたいときは
    僕がどこを向けばいいか教えてほしい
    頼りにできるのは きみだけなんだから

    Honesty is such a lonely word
    Everyone is so untrue
    Honesty is hardly ever heard
    And mostly what I need from you

    「誠実」…なんて虚しい言葉なんだ
    誰もが正直じゃない世の中のなかで
    「誠実」…耳にすることはほとんどない言葉
    でもそれこそ
    僕がきみに求めることなんだ…

    One person I feel I'd be able to trust, and I feel he doesn't trust anyone so I stay a loner with many acquaintances. Better safe than worry I learned the hard way, trust my instincts & feel safe✌👊

  52. J.... T....

    I don't know but I just wonder if Billy Joel's songs are about his own experiences with ex girl friends especially that "special one"

  53. �.... �....

    BILLY JOEL
    Not My Favorite Singer But He is AWESOME!!!
    He Is by Far The BEST Song Writer
    Like if you actually take some time to listen carefully to these meaningful lyrics
    You’ll Realize How He actually is The Best Song Writer
    I mean you can see how much thought he puts into the making of these songs...
    And The Song itself too,
    It Sounds AMAZING!!!.... Must Admit!
    There are so many other Billy Joel Songs I Love Also!!!
    If Michael Jackson Never Existed, He’d Be My Favorite....






    ~ L E G E N D

  54. W.... R....

    I'd be honored if some Billy Joel fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his classics ALLENTOWN and VIENNA on my YT channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.

  85. a.... r....

    Guess who put thumbs down, think for sure they can compose such a song, singing and playing it. Better than Billy.
    At least.

    Otherwise your thumb should be in a different place of your own...
