How Do I Stop This? (Hades POV)

[Verse 1] What a disaster, what a mess I’ve got my thoughts in such a state A week ago I knew myself Now every plan has gone astray I can’t believe it’s only been A handful of days at most Somehow every room feels different Since the last time that we spoke [Pre-Chorus] Okay, okay, it’s not that bad Let’s not get carried away I’ve ruled an entire kingdom I can survive a passing phase [Chorus] How do I stop this? How do I let it go? I’ve faced a thousand battles But this is one I don’t control One smile One laugh One conversation and I’m through How do I stop this? When every road leads back to you? [Verse 2] She’s not that great She’s really not I’m sure I’ve built her up too much It’s only been a couple days Why does her memory hit this hard? She makes me feel all warm and snuggly Gods, I hate admitting that Do I even like warm and snuggly? Who decided I wanted that? If anything I should be angry How dare she rearrange my brain? But she’s so easy to talk to And somehow that just makes it worse again [Pre-Chorus] She doesn’t care about status She doesn’t care about my name She talks to me like I’m a person And nothing feels quite the same [Chorus] How do I stop this? How do I shut it down? I’ve worn a crown for centuries But somehow she’s the one thing now One look One grin One upside-down-heart-shaped— No. How do I stop this? Because this is getting ridiculous [Bridge] Nobody’s perfect Nobody is There has to be something I’ve missed Let’s see… Scholarship winner Chess champion Swimming champion Math champion Three years running? Are you kidding? Was she trying to collect them all? I went looking for a single flaw And somehow found none at all [Breakdown] I’m a two-thousand-year-old man With a crush on a nineteen-year— Nope. Not finishing that line. One. Two. Three. That’s it. I’m done. No more thinking about her tonight. … Dammit. [Final Chorus] How do I stop this? How do I make it end? I’ve spent my life in perfect control Now I’m arguing with myself again One smile One laugh One conversation and I’m undone How do I stop this? When every answer leads to you? [Outro] Maybe I misunderstood Maybe I got it all wrong Maybe I read too much into A feeling that wasn’t there all along Maybe I misread this whole situation … Knock. Knock. Minth?
