[Verse 1]
Woke up to a bill and a breakup
Phone full of "sorry, can't make up"
Coffee gone cold, boss on my case
Still I wipe the worry right off my face
I been bent, I been broke, I been bitter
Turned that pain to a paintbrush, bigger picture
Life swing hard, I just learn how to lean
Turn my scars to a map of where I've been
[Chorus]
I keep an open view, open heart
Even when it all falls apart (yeah)
Take that hit, then I breathe, then I start
Saying "this might be the best hard part"
I keep an open view, open mind
Every little storm, I'll find the shine (uh)
I don't know the how, but I know I'll get through
Whatever come next, I'm choosing the view (let's go)
[Verse 2]
Every setback talk like "this your end"
I just talk back, "nah, you my friend"
Pressure make diamonds, I'm still in the mine
Covered in dirt but I'm ready to shine
I don't run from the rain, I dance in it
Turn doubt to a beat, put a stance in it (hey!)
When the road get rough, I adjust my shoes
Same old world, brand new attitude
[Bridge]
I been down, but I don't stay laying
Change the frame, change the whole portraying
What if every closed door just saved me
From a room that was never gonna raise me?
[Chorus]
I keep an open view, open heart
Even when it all falls apart
Take that hit, then I breathe, then I start
Saying "this might be the best hard part" (best hard part)
I keep an open view, open mind
Every little storm, I'll find the shine (yeah)
I don't know the how, but I know I'll get through
Whatever come next, I'm choosing the view (I'm choosing the view)
