can't put music to my lyrics...

[metalhead_matt]

so yeah, I wrote some lyrics that I really like, because they mean something to me, probably not to anyone else, except a certain somebody and myself.
but im struggling to put music to it, because the structure of it all is just wierd :confused: it doesnt have a set rhyming pattern or anything, but i dont want to change the lyrics because to me they're good.
i know its hard and probably a stupid question, but have you got any tips?

[holy_roller99]

can you post them before asking the question so that we know what you are talking about?(ie give us a reason y you are having trouble?)

[ivy]

you could just have them as spoken words over a riff if you like that effect

[MY YEAR]

played guitar
gigged sometime
come so far
but still behind

found a girl
lost a girl
cheated on
live and learn

won, lost
laughed, cried
heart, broke
pain, inside

turned to you
like I always do
best friends
heart, mends

pain, gone
only you
feelin, within
i can't tell you

close, one
best friends are
damage, done
repaired, heart

your inside me
it feels true
your away
I will tell you

come back
arms, open
wanted girl
your feelings, broken

found my girl
the one for me
told my girl
how I feel
kissed my girl
love, real
lost my girl
too easily

heart, break
at the stitch
same ache
black, pitch

fall out
so sorry
watch out
they won't be

passion, strong
but I won't say
I'll love you, as best friends
forever, and a day

no it aint, like i said, its wierd but thats because i wrote in like 10 mins

it sounds like an acoustic thing. add some chords and try to recite it. eventually it will make sense.

Hey, I really like this. Those lyrics are really deep....they kinda apply to me too....hey, keep it up, this is good stuff.:thumb: Play some basic chords on acoustic guitar,and just speak the words over the top. If you want to transfer to electric, play the acoustic chords as powerchords. Simple, but effective, just like your lyrics.:) You're onto a winner there, man.:thumb:

Me too thinks that can be a nice acoustic song.

I also like your lyrics ! :)

I wouldn't say that it has a weird structure and it seems like it could be quite easily put to music.

I heard pop-punk when I read it. Seriously...

It has the same flow as "All the small Things"...

No offense if you take offense to this.

I think the flow is really good.

But it should be said kind of quickly
