Others start with the chorus making it as interesting as can be and later work on the verses.

If your style will not be to start with the lyrics, you should be aware that they are a very important part of the song unless it is an instrumental.

It may be frustrating trying to remember them later.

Writing from your own experience will also be a big help. You can write about your joy and trauma as they are things the listeners can actually relate to.
