The above explanation could be true, but I personally gather a hint of sarcasm from these lyrics, as if the narrator is stating how difficult it is to write lyrics but actually poking fun at how easy it is to come up with some random fake and contrived emo lyrics. The first verse kind of says it all:
Words don't seem to come so easy
when I need them oh so badly
Here's to playing tug of war with my vocal chords
Maybe I can give this another
shot or sing about a broken
heart, or immitate the way it feels
if this was happening for real
Just in those words, it's almost as if he's saying "Shit, I can't think of something decent, original and thought-provoking, looks like I'll have to pull a Taking Back Sunday."
