How could you have done, just what you did to me
Crippling pain inside, tears all I'm able to see
Coming to the conclusion without you I'm not okay
Looks like I'll have to get used to rainy days
All alone now, guess there'll be no more 'we'
Guess you couldn't cope, just decided to flee
Never spared a second thought about me
Life once Technicolor now shades of grey
How could you?
Yet somehow you hold my heart, please let it free
For I'm slowly drowning in misery
Never cared, never listened to what I had to say
Only thing mattered was getting your own way
Left me in such a state, being with you once meant ecstasy
How could you?
A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a
sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short - a
refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the
same metrical length).
