3 months ago 01st Aug 06:30

John Mayer is struggling to write any new songs now he's so famous - because his fans think they know him too well.

The rocker has been thrust into the spotlight after his high profile relationships with Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston.

And the star feels as if he's fighting against writing lyrics on topicshis fans may have preconceptions about - admitting he finds it hard to express himself the way he did before he became a tabloid favourite.

I find it hard to write lyrics like I used to

Taking to his Twitter.com blog to air his concerns, Mayer writes, "I find it hard to write lyrics like I used to. This is not because people know so much about me, but because of what they think they know. So I find myself trying to guess what they think they know and then trying to steer clear of it and find another way to explain myself.

"The whole thing gets very tiresome and has led me to say 'f**k it' and write exactly like I used to".
