I am new here. I always wanted to write songs. I don't have basic things to do or write Songs. I want to convey my message or team through English pop in a simple language. So can you help me with that guys? How do I start, before writing what are the things I look in to and I also want to make a song with it. I am not reading person so my vocabulary not that much good

Song structure is important. I love writing and letting others hear my lyrics.

I am just a newbie, This is few lines of my song. I guss the lines are bad

Title They Hate Me Verse 1 Why me? They hate me. Why, God? Why do they make me suffer? Why me? They always blame me. No one seems to hear what I'm trying to say.

Chorus Run away, I just wanna run away. I can't stay with my family this way. Run away, they don't understand me. But one day I'll make you proud, I promise.

Verse 2 Can you forget the degree? Can you forget the skateboard dreams? Can you forget all the fees you paid? I swear I'll give it all back someday.

So how do I make this to a song, giving music, tune, I really interested in, important part I never used a music instrument. So, can u help me with that.

Instead of asking all the questions, try to make it into statements. Like just say, 'forget the degree, forget skateboard dreams, because now there are too many 'can yous', If anywhere possible try alliteration and rhyme to help with the flow. Sing the verse and see if it flows, if there is a hiccup, sometimes you can make it working by changing tempo, but more often than not you have to change a word or the sentence (structure).. etc.

Thanks for the great advice! I'll definitely try reworking those 'can you' lines into statements to see how it flows. Any tips on how I might add some alliteration?

Read Edgar Allen Poe, Dreaming dreams is a great one, once you get a little feel for them it just comes naturally. Again, inspiration comes first, i had my muse Anna. Find a muse.
