Hiccup
P!nk Lyrics

Why every time I try to tell you how it feel
The singer is questioning why they struggle to express their feelings.

It's like a hiccup-cup come and it won't come-come
The singer compares their inability to express themselves to a hiccup, which is uncontrollable and disruptive.

Soon as I think I'm bout to share my lovin'
Whenever the singer feels ready to open up and share their emotions with their partner.

That's when the hiccup's comin'
Their inability to express themselves always seems to interrupt the moment they try to share their feelings.

You're like a cough on a rainy day
The artist compares their partner to something that is unpleasant and annoying, like a cough during a rainy day.

You know the kind that gives you chest pains, yeah
The cough is so severe that it causes physical pain and discomfort.

And just as things start to feel OK
Whenever things are starting to feel better between the singer and their partner,

Then here you come to break away
Their partner always seems to do something that interrupts the progress they've made and sets them back.

You love me hard and you squeeze me tight
Despite their issues, the artist's partner shows them love and affection.

You let me go then you pick a fight
Their partner's affection is short-lived, and they tend to pick fights or argue soon after.

You make me wanna scream, cry, and shout out-loud
Their partner's behavior causes the singer to feel intense emotions like anger and sadness.

Boy, you got me spinnin' round-and-round
Their partner's inconsistent behavior keeps the artist feeling confused and uncertain.

My thoughts, they kinda shake-y
The singer's thoughts feel unsteady and uncertain when they're around their partner.

Every time I get around you sweet baby
Whenever the singer is in their partner's presence,

Sometimes, I don't know what I'm tryin' to say
They find it difficult to articulate their thoughts and feelings around them.

Just tell me baby, tell me things are gonna be OK
The artist seeks reassurance from their partner that things will work out between them.

I get all choked up inside
The artist feels emotional and unable to speak when they're around their partner.

And I don't know what to say
Their emotions leave them feeling unsure of how to communicate effectively.

Sometimes I wanna just run and hide
Their emotions make them want to avoid their partner altogether.

But you just stand in my way
Despite the artist's desire for distance, their partner continues to be present and involved in their life, which makes things harder.

Pink don't think before she speak
The artist acknowledges that they tend to speak before considering the consequences.

But you got me feelin', feelin', feelin' kinda weak
Despite their own shortcomings, the artist's partner has a powerful effect on them emotionally.

Why every time I tell you how I feel
The singer is still struggling to express themselves openly and honestly with their partner.

It's like a hiccup-cup come and you know the deal
Their partner is aware of the artist's struggle to communicate and how it affects their relationship.

Pink don't think before she speak
The singer reminds themselves again that they tend to speak impulsively.

But you got me feelin', feelin', feelin' kinda weak
Their partner continues to have a powerful effect on them emotionally.
