## Lyrics
[verse]
Everybody's got a story they're selling cheap
Sweet talk running shallow, running deep
I don't need another line to make me feel
I just need to know that something's real

[chorus]
Honesty, it's such a lonely thing to find
Honesty, it's rare and hard to keep in mind
Give me one true word instead of pretty lies
I'd trade a thousand compliments for honest eyes

[verse]
People smile and tell you what you want to hear
Dress the truth in ribbons year by year
But a plain and simple word from someone true
Means more to me than all the pretty avenues

[chorus]
Honesty, it's such a lonely thing to find
Honesty, it's rare and hard to keep in mind
Give me one true word instead of pretty lies
I'd trade a thousand compliments for honest eyes

[bridge]
I'm not asking you for perfect or for kind
Just don't dress the truth to ease my mind
Say it straight and let me stand on solid ground
That's the only comfort I have found

[chorus]
Honesty, it's such a lonely thing to find
Honesty, it's rare and hard to keep in mind
Give me one true word instead of pretty lies
I'd trade a thousand compliments for honest eyes
