How to write song lyrics
It made me
Accomplished. 
"It got a lot off my chest."
How I did it: When I first wrote song lyrics, I was writing it for the boy I was in love with at the time.
I had been telling myself that I would for a very, very long time. He had already written me one, and I wanted to return the favor, and maybe play it for him on my new guitar.
Finally, I made myself sit down with a paper and pen and think about how I really felt about him. I thought about our relationship, what was so great about it, how it made me feel. And then I took all of those feelings and incorporated them into a song.
Some parts where hard; rhyming isn't always easy. But I just stuck with it, and by day two I was done, and he loved it. It brought us closer together, and left me feeling like I'd gotten something off of my chest. Plus, it was pretty. :)
Lessons & tips: - Stick with it, no matter how frustrating it gets.
If you get stuck, don't worry about and just keep trying. A line will come to you.
- Before you start, brainstorm.
Figure out exactly what it is you want the song to be about, then write down all your feelings about that certain subject.
- Remember, things don't have to rhyme perfectly.
As long as things sound semi the same, then you're good!

you cant expect me to change in the blink of an eye
i vent to the ones who have been by my side
throughout it all, going throught the same shit
all you did was throw a fit.
looking at life through a mirror
different than the one thts always been here
trying to stay away from all thts near
with eyes full of regret and fear.
Your the last person i want to see
now im happy tht im finally free
through all the hurt and all the pain
in the end i can call myself sane
the memories are stuck in my head
when i laid there and cried in my bed
no longer there, happy again
just so you know you will NEVER be my friend.

as the days go on it just gets worse
i dont wanna be here with this hurt
she screams with passion
just let me go, i thought u wanted me to be mirthful?
another one of your lies youve told
this hurt is inbearable, the things you say
judgemental and wrong, a heartless person
is all you are
......
next to you

Two ‘o clock and I wish that I was sleeping
You’re in my head like a song on the radio
All I know is that I got to get next to you
Yeah I got to get next to you
Sitting here turning minutes into hours
To find the nerve just to call you on the telephone
You don’t know that I got to get next to you
[Chorus]
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it’s just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you
I asked around and I heard that you were talking
Told my girl that you thought I was out of your league
What a fool, I got to get next to you, whoa
Yeah it’s five in the morning and I can’t go to sleep
‘Cause I wish, yeah I wish that you knew what you mean to me
Baby let’s get together and end this mystery, oh
[Chorus]
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it’s just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you
Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
Yeah, yeah, to want to get next to you
[Chorus]
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it’s just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Baby call me crazy
But I know you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I got to get next to you

Every night i close my eyes

to live the dreams i dream
Every night
It's The Last Time

Let’s get out there
And fun and
Let’s Get
Rockn’ Rollin’
It’s The Last Time
(1st chours)
Make a wish
And try to make
It come true
If you wish on
A birthday cake
Your wish would probably
Come true
As long as you don’t
Tell anyoooone
It’s The Last Time
(2nd chours)
Don’t think about
How many minutes
Are left on the clock
Until school’s over
Just wait for the
Bell to ring
And then
You can rush out
Of the classroom
Especially if it’s Friday
‘Cause we all know
That it’s the weekend
It’s The Last Time
c’mon evrybody (regular voice)
Let’s get Rockin’ Rollin’
And have a party
Any time we want to
Let’s have some fun
It’s The Last Tiiiiime.
(after 2nd chours repeat 1st chours twice and then 2nd chours again)

Listen to what
Your heart is tryin’
To tell you
And listen carefully
You can let go
Of your dreams
But you can’t let go
Of your heart

Your dreams are
Callin’ you to
Tell you to
To keep
On dreamin’
Follow Your Dreams
You never know
What’s gonna come
Out of you
Always listen to
What your heart
Is tryin’ to tell you
(chours)
Your dreams are
Callin’ you
To tell you
To keep
On dreamin’
Follow Your Dreams
You never know
What’s gonna come
Out of you
Always listen to
What your heart
Is tryin’ to
Tell you
Your dreams are
Callin’ you to
Tell you to
Keep on dreamin’
Folloooow Your dreeeams
Writing song lyrics...

I want to write song lyrics, but I’m not fully sure how. I can kind of get things to work out in my head but I can’t get them out on paper. I think that if I find the right kind of inspiration, it might help me.
