Lyrics Done Maybe?

I've added on to a few lyrics that I came up with last week and I think I might be done with it. I'm not sure yet.. seems a little melodramatic.

How do I think of the right thing to say?

What do I use to make the words come out right?

It's all in my head and yet it's a struggle

Putting words on the page is a constant fight

I thought this would be much easier to do

Take words from my heart and write a song for you

A constant shade of blue

Always piercing through

Why can't I just write a song for you?

It seems like all I do is make it harder on myself

I should focus on what I can do and not on someone else

But anytime I try to say

The way you make me feel

I wish that someone else could write it

So then their words I could steal

I thought this would be much easier to do

Take words from my heart and write a song for you

A constant shade of blue
Always piercing through

Why can't I just write a song for you?

These words don't do justice to the person you are

But it's all I've been able to come up with so far

So give me a chance to do good by the rest

And believe when I say..

I gave it my best

I gave it my best

I gave it my best

I give you my best.

I think writing a guitar part and a melody for this one is going to be tough. I'm not used to writing such wordy pieces. Most of my stuff is fairly simple and not too difficult so this should be a challenge.
