I need help starting off my song!?
I am usually really good at writing but I'm stuck! I write like taylor swift! Its about a guy who I used to be good friends with.. Maybe more than friends at times but then he just stopped talking to me and has a girlfriend. We both play guitar and love music and he has ice blue eyes and blonde hair and is just really genuine.. Please help!

4. There's no us in two of us

Alice is correct.
The song has to come from within. Not an imitation.
Also helps if you're schooled a little in the English Language (aka advanced concepts of writing such as alliteration, etc) and mostly in song writing . (which im working on)
Someone on Y!A directed me to this: http://musiced.about.com/od/othermusicgenres/p/par...
Should help.
You could start it off with a solo:
"Eyes ever blue, frost bitten by the love,
Intentions never were, to lose you.
But somehow I've become a shadow,
And I don't know where to look to."
Idk... thats the start of what I'd come up with lol but dont use mine. Just an idea of what you can do...
Songs need to come from the heart. Not Y!A. Everyone gets writers block. Even Taylor Swift. Find more inspiration.
