The Truth Of It All - Joe Ryan III

A soulful contemporary R&B and hip-hop ballad featuring a smooth, emotive male tenor vocal, The track is built on a foundation of a clean, rhythmic electric guitar riff playing a repetitive four-chord progression with a slight clean chorus effect, The percussion consists of a crisp trap-influenced beat with a sharp snare on the 2 and 4, syncopated hi-hat rolls, and a deep, melodic 808 bassline that provides the harmonic weight, Atmospheric synth pads and subtle vocal layering create a sense of depth and intimacy, The song structure follows a traditional verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus pattern, with the bridge featuring a more rhythmic, spoken-word delivery that transitions back into the melodic hook, The tempo is a steady 85 BPM in a minor key, emphasizing a reflective and melancholic mood, High-end production features include polished vocal compression, spacious reverb on the chorus, and clean frequency separation between the sub-bass and the guitar

[Chorus]
And it's tearing me apart since we've been apart
I've been out here falling all apart
Sitting in the dark trying not to think about you
But every day I think about you
But even when it's dark I'll be in your heart
I'll be in your heart
Even when it's dark I'll be in your heart
Keep me in your heart (ay)
And don't let me go
Even when it's dark and you can't see me no more (yeah)
Even when it's dark I'll be in your heart
I'll be in your heart
Even when it's dark I'll be in your heart
Keep me in your heart
And don't let me go
Even when it's dark and you can't see me no more

[Verse 2]
Someday, one day, hopefully
I know God gon' let you see
This here wasn't all about me (no, no)
'Cause there's something about honesty
That always finds a way it seems
To show itself and make us all free
so I'll take the fall
'Cause the truth of it all
Is if I were to stay
You'd have no daddy at all
Not at all /Owww
I know it hurts but I did it so I could put you first

[Chorus]
And it's tearing me apart since we've been apart
I've been out here falling all apart
Sitting in the dark trying not to think about you
But every day I think about you
But even when it's dark I'll be in your heart
I'll be in your heart
Even when it's dark I'll be in your heart
Keep me in your heart (hey)
And don't let me go
Even when it's dark and you can't see me no more (yeah)
Even when it's dark I'll be in your heart
I'll be in your heart
Even when it's dark I'll be in your heart
Keep me in your heart
And don't let me go
Even when it's dark and you can't see me no more (hey)

[Rap]
It's tearing me apart since we've been apart
I've been out here falling all apart
Sitting in the dark trying not to think about you
But every day I think about you
It's true, every minute, every second, yeah I meant it
When I said I'd never leave you, then I left you
Lost that battle to the devil
Daddy's no perfect man (yeah)
but I know our God got a perfect plan
and you don't understand/right now/
things look like they wont change/
alotta people try to tell you alotta thangs/
dont let them get all in yo brain/
do ya best to maintain/
all the love I taught you, you should have in your heart
dont let it go even when things get real dark
