You Lodged There and You Sang

I should be over you 
I should
I really
should

But you got to my soul
through music
and you lodged there
and you sang

You sang of lives
lived vibrantly 
and you sang of 
enthusiasm

You made me laugh
which most people can't do
and you didn't ignore me
when my eyes were grey 
and dull

I smiled like an idiot
every time I saw you
even when I was mad 
mad at you
I couldn't stay away

But now that you're gone
I attempt to make 
believe
that I didn't care
didn't need you 
anyway

But you got to my soul
through music
and you lodged there
and you sang

Music was my first love
you just made it better
so every time I listen
and your song comes on
I hear your voice
alone

Yes, you got to my soul
through music
and you lodged there
and you sang
