Ok.. Looks like I'm the first person to post something that needs help sweatdrop
Anyway... as you've probably noticed, I've been getting into -or at least trying to- songwriting lately. As you've also probably noticed, I'm not that great at it.
This next piece is something I've been working on for the past few days and can't think of what else to write...
Dear Diary
It's three in the morning
And I'm lying in bed
I couldn't get to sleep again
And time ticks on slowly
Oh, and the hours press on
I get dressed and go to school
Oh, Time in the classroom
Time with my friends
It all feels like such a blur
Oh, Dear Diary
I went a little crazy today
Dear Diary
Went a little crazy today
Oh, and the hour moves slowly
and the ink keeps on flowing
Pouring my troubles into paper
And there's nothing I can do now
So it's time to sit awake now
I let my heart sink through the cracks
Oh, Time on my own now
Time in the dark
It's all slowly closing in
Oh, Dear Diary
I went a little crazy today
Dear Diary
Went a little crazy today
>>Insert missing stuff here<<
Oh Dear Diary
I went a little crazy today
Dear Diary
Went a little crazy with the blade

Alright, so, lyrics. My own forte in this genre comes more from the musical side of the fence. I write melodies, so, my advice for you in my first read through is to find a melody you think best and fit your lyrics to it. This will give you a rhythm which should help you with the overall flow of the piece. Now for finishing the song... You need something to tie it all together. Again, I suggest listening to songs with meaningful lyrics. How do they do it? What makes their lyrics work. See if you can implement what you have learned into your own writing. I hope this helps!
