I really really wanna write songs but i can't

I've always been a huge music lover. It's everything to me. The feeling I get from music is like sex sometimes. I worship my favorite artists like gods. And sometimes I really wish I could write something of my own that I adored but all that comes out is basic uninspired bullshit that sounds nothing like the stuff I listen to. I've been trying to write music for about a year now, and I've come up with some nice melodies and lyrics along the way but for some reason I can't finish songs. I'll write verses, sing it and it'll sound really good, then I'll get bored and move onto the next idea and it gets forgotten forever. I have hundreds of voice memos and notes on my phone, and not one finished song I can show for myself. I don't know, maybe I need some more time as it's really only been a year, but it's still really frustrating.

    You need knowledge of basic music theory to arrange the harmony and accompaniment so it has good structure and vibes. You could take a short course, or watch YouTube videos to learn about transposing, and more about 1, 4, 5, and minor 6.

    This is just my opinion but I think song writing is something you're gifted. You either have it or you don't. Having said that you could keep trying. Have you shown friends your efforts? Also some songs sound "flat" until they're put to music.

    How about you write down some feelings and then try and compose it in a song like manner?
