Been a songwriter for years. It's all a matter of developing your own style, not fashioning yourself on someone else. It's useful to study the songs of others, just to see how they have arrived at their song.
Then you need to find your own 'voice', write songs about what's important to you, that comes before everything else.
With me sometimes the words come first and then the melody, other times I have a melody but no words! Sometimes it takes a long time, to put the two together. Don't force it, let it come on its own.
It may just be that your songs ARE your own, and they sound like everyone elses simply because you haven't spent enough time on them, developing them and so on. Put them away for a while, leave them as long as you can without playing, listening to them, then hear them with 'fresh ears' if you see what I mean. You may just find that there's a few things you need to alter or change, and then it will be totally your own!
Hope I've been able to help!
