Like someone else mentioned, vocals really are another and very important instrument in the art of music composition, and if you're good at it, you should pursue that if it makes you feel good, whether you're a songwriter or not.

See, i don't get that, it's like borrowing someone's opinion cause you have nothing to say..
Why can't they have their own message?
it's not like all the lyrics in every song are super meaningful, so so what if you write ****ty lyrics?
use them!
to me a singer who doesn't write his own stuff is just a pretty voice with nothing to say.
