Songwriting or whatnot

Mannn I haven't been on here a lot lately so I find it funny that only now am I making my first proper blog.

anyways, I've been spending the past week or so tryna come up with my first song. I would just sit down for a few hours a day and spam play chords until I heard something that sounded alright. I feel the easiest part of making a song is the instrumentals, at least for me. The main melody of the song came in after a while too. It ended up kind of sounding like early Green Day songs, I think its awesome.

But the main problem then arrived, the lyrics.

I still haven't thought of any lyrics for this song, and whenever I tried writing something, my brain automatically says it's bad and I get rid of it. I know it sounds odd to say but, I kind of think I'm scared of it just sounding cringe. I know I'm not like Paul McCartney or Billie Joe Armstrong and any artist I look up too. They have years of experience with songwriting and well, this is my first song, I shouldn't expect it to be good. But I still can't shake off this genuine fear I have. Just yesterday I sung and played my song (with no lyrics, I just sang the melody) to my friends and immediately after I started asking them if it was cringey or bad.

But anyways this is what I've been up to recently, I'm not so sure how long it'll take for me to convince myself the lyrics aren't bad or cringe, but I think I'll find a way, or at least I hope I will.
