Well it depends what kind of story you're going for. Depending on the plot of the game determines the difficulty.

I assure you, making a constructive story is not as easy as it looks, or sounds. I don't think it's an easy do. Otherwise, you'd have yourself a "old saggy dick sleeve wizzard paired up with a young girl companion to save the world from evil" story. Which there is none.
These are the steps that must be taken before even considering to outlook an idea.
Exposition The beginning of the plot usually concerned with introducing characters and setting. These elements may be largely presented at the beginning of the story, or occur as a sort of incidental description throughout. Exposition can be handled in a variety of ways—perhaps a character or a set of characters explain the elements of the plot through dialogue or thought.
Conflict The clash between two or more opposing groups, around which the plot revolves. This can take a number of basic forms, where the character may have to face themselves, another person, nature, society, a machine, or even the supernatural. The conflict, along with the exposition, often defines the genre of the story. A story's conflict may be a hybrid of these, or many concurrent conflicts: for example, the protagonist may struggle with their own thoughts while fighting someone else, or battle the nature of disease while trying to change society.
Rising action The rising action in a work of fiction builds suspense and leads to the climax. In this part of the story, the protagonist often faces additional challenges, or learns new information or meets new people who complicate the nature of the conflict.
Climax The high point of the story, where a culmination of events create the peak of the conflict. The climax features the most conflict and struggle, and usually reveals any secrets or missing points in the story. Alternatively, an anti-climax may occur, in which an expectedly difficult event is revealed to be incredibly easy or of paltry importance. The climax isn't always the first important scene in a story. In many stories, it is the last sentence, with no successive falling action or resolution.
Falling action The falling action is the part of a story following the climax. This part of the story shows the result of the climax, and its effects on the characters, setting, and proceeding events.
denouement Unraveling or untying of the complexities of a plot. Beware that not all stories have a resolution.

this is my chorus for my song Kill My Love (the words in the bracket things are backup vocals):
Look what you've done to me {done to me} Will I ever be set free {be set free} You were once the only thing I thought of {thought of} Now all you do is kill my love
please tell me what you think. i'll take any criticism, whether it be bad or good.

You were once the only thing I thought of {thought of} Now all you do is kill my love The rest sounds fine, however, when you said "Now all you do is kill my love" it almost made a contradiction to "You were once the only thing I thought of." This makes it seem that you don't care anymore.

Yes it would, but in this case, you wrote, "You were once the only thing I thought of." The once part made it seem as if you cared before and not presently. Then after, when you say, "Now all you do is kill my love," and also note that when it said now is what I mean by contradiction. Though, this was my first impression of when I read it.

Yes but after you get the initial hang of it, it tends to become second nature.

Well, there's not much for it to be really lyrics. I can't really criticize if it repeats the same thought. Because in that small verse it obviously points out that you love her, that's it. Maybe if you added more to it then it'd be a different story. I'd be able to, otherwise I don't think anyone else here would have anything to say to that.
