| This is lyrically one of the best written songs I've ever heard (or read!). The words flow together and they are almost poetic in true form. What I like about it is that some of the lines really make you think about yourself and your own honesty level. To say things like "everyone is so untrue" and "if you look for truthfulness, you might just as well be blind" can be bold and unsettling, but maybe all too true at the same time. That's what makes this writing style so effective. |

| Billy Joel uses his unbelievable talent to craft a song based around a word that is used often, but how much is it really meant? Take a look at the way he starts the verses. He uses words like "If" and "When". Using words like that automatically spark interest, so they are great verse starters. In the chorus, he uses the word "lonely" to describe a word, giving us a whole new way to look at "honesty" itself. |
