a lonely word－愛的動詞三態

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

妳總是說，要對自己誠實。對自己誠實，也是對另一個人誠實。
然最不容易的也是對自己誠實。
我們受太多事情牽絆，擔心別人的看法，煩惱從來沒有人知道的未來種種。於是我們選擇對自己不誠實，只要現在可以開心就好。

真的這樣就可以風平浪靜嗎？

真誠，是如此寂寞的字眼。
因為怕寂寞，所以選擇逃避自己的心。因為逃避，所以更寂寞。
寂寞讓我們更加不願意掏出自己，給予真實的內心。

如果只是需要溫柔，任何人都給得起。只是，那並不是真實。

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.
