Aftershock Lyrics by Van Halen

Balance

1995

Oh yeah
Alright

[Verse]
I don't care about the way that ya treated me
And I ain't crying about the love I'm paying for
No, I ain't bitchin' 'bout the things you been puttin' down here in my street
No, I ain't going 'round saying things about you, Lord I can't repeat

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey it ain't gonna change overnight, no
And it ain't goin' away without a fight, no

[Verse]
Now I ain't saying that I'm never gonna beg you, oh baby come back
But right now baby, I don't really wanna see your face yeah, and that's a fact
Right now, honey all I know is what I'm feelin' inside
Right now, baby I'm alone and I'm swallowing a lot of pride

[Pre-Chorus]
And it ain't gonna change overnight, no
And it ain't goin' away without a fight

[Chorus]
Livin' with the aftershock, I said
Why, why, why, I never thought she'd walk
But now I'm livin' with the aftershock
And it ain't gonna change, it ain't goin' away, no

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Yeah, she opened up my eyes
Seeing what I wanna see
She kinda took me by surprise
Showed me what I hadn't seen

Yeah, yeah
Livin' with the aftershock

[Guitar Solo]

Oh yeah, alright
Watch it, watch it

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah livin' with the aftershock
I said my, my, my I said I never thought she'd walk
Livin' and learning from the aftershock
And it ain't going to change, it ain't going away
I said it ain't going to change without a fight
I'm livin' with the aftershock
I'm livin' with the aftershock

Never gonna change
