I've only done like 1-3 songwritings in my entire life, but I'm going to advise you as sincerely as possible:
1) When writing songs, make sure the essential parts are present and in order
verse (1-2)
chorus
verse (1-2)
chorus
bridge
chorus (can be repeated twice)
2) make every line on your lyric as rhymable as possible
3) as much as possible, avoid listening to too much songs when writing as it may affect you're writing in a negative way (copying) rather than positively
4) always make sure that you are telling a story in your song. and the bridge is the climax to it
5) stick to the emotion you're trying to write. if it's a happy song, don't talk about divorce and death. oppositely, if it's a sad song, don't talk about butterflies and cute guys. you know what i mean.
6) lastly, put a beat to it or at least a melody. indicating a few musical notes at the end of every line won't hurt.
