Ivan B - Open Hearted Lyrics






You know
It's funny
A lot of you take the time
To write me these long
Long messages about
What you're going through
And your struggles
And you ask me
How do you write down these words
To describe exactly what I'm feeling
And the answer is: I don't
I don't
I don't know you
I don't know any of you
But
It makes me happy that you can connect to what I'm saying
Because I'm just a 20 year old kid with a pen
Who just writes about anything he goes through
And
I've been stressing about doing this this intro
Because I don't want to
I don't want to give you rehearsed lines
And
A cover of something
I don't know
I just wanted to talk to you
And maybe I should've wrote something down
Maybe this doesn't sound as good as I thought it would be
I want you to know me
I want you to be able to listen to my music and be like:
I know this guy
He's a cool guy
I don't know
There's a lot of things I wish I could take back
But that's
That's not how life works
So I wrote it down in
In hopes
To help one of you
To tell you things will be okay
My name is Ivan
I'm from the Bay Area
And these are my Layers of Reflection

    You may just be a 20 yr old kid with a pen ( as u described) But your not. You have an amazing talent for this music stuff. I'm 43 yrs old and have just in the last year started listening to your music. And i gotta say most of what i hear is indescribable. Me and my wife and most of my kids listen to you daily. And i cant speak 4 them but your words move me and heal me. You see we lost 1 of us a little over a year ago to a homicide. And music has always been the life blood of our home. But now more then ever. And i dont know what I'm saying. I never comment on YouTube stuff. But felt I needed to say thank you for all of your music. Never stop you have unmatched talent and hope u get everything you deserve for all your hard work. And again thank you

  37. R.... ....

    <3 Immediate acceptance in the 1st 15 sec. I literally ask a few times a day or i was, how does he know this is what i need to hear to forgive my partner's sins again, today? Put on My Way or One Day, or I'm Sorry.. Or any other song You made and I can do it, i have the juice to smile at someone and our kid and be a dad.. Its came to the point I usually always resort to a song of yours.. God put you on this path so i can correct mine. Hearing you is a blessing to a bleeding heart.. Hearing you say you dont know me is really a wake up call.. I thank you for sharing your talent, and sharing your lyrics with us.

    Christene Cranford Ivan* may not like all over his music? Why not? He's an inspiration and you don't like his music why? And plz learn grammar.

  46. J.... M....

    I have a son your age an I call what you expressed as reflection I call THE RIPPLE EFFECT. LIKE A PEBBLE DROPPED INTO A POND, Our decisions are each a dropped pebble into a pond that can make great waves of change or bad ones. As a mom. You just made a good one. J.
