Before you dive into writing lyrics it’s really helpful to outline the shape of the song from a lyrical perspective. Just write down the main message of each section. Once you’re done you should end up with something like the below example:
- Verse 1: I’m alone but I’m happy
- Pre-chorus: but now I’ve met you
- Chorus: I can’t do without you
- Verse 2: why is everything different now?
- Pre-chorus 2: but the more I know about you
- Chorus: I can’t do without you
- Bridge: Do you need me as much as I need you, I hope you do because
- Chorus: I can’t do without you
