I want to write songs but I don't know where to start,

Make a dadaist poem and put music to it

some people can just right songs. but for absolute begginers...i have no clue how to help you. its a really painful and arduous journey

Don't then. Learn an instrument and play music with it. If you fail you can then shitpost on the internet about how making 3-chord ditties means something, but you don't actually have to make them.

write the music first.

Do I start with the chord progression? I'm not really concerned about the lyrics, just starting the song.
