THE CALM BEFORE THE STRIKE

(Britney Mayfield)

Verse 1
You sent your little dagger,
thought the whole room’d watch me bleed,
typed my name like ammunition,
hoping someone might believe.
You sugar-coated venom
like my silence was your win—
but darling, every shot you fired
only ricocheted again.

Pre-Chorus 1
You thought you’d paint me reckless,
but your colors bled right through.
’Cause everyone who read that message
recognized the villain wasn’t me—
it was you.
it was you—ooo-oo
you—ooo-oo

Chorus A
I don’t crumble under pressure—
I get clearer in the light.
You were counting on my silence…
but silence isn’t weakness,
it’s the moment I decide.

I don’t bend the way you pictured,
I don’t break the way you’d like.
You were waiting for my fallout…
but all you got was calm
before the strike.

Verse 2
You came in making statements
like they counted more than truth,
throwing judgment like it’s currency
you thought the room would use.
You framed it as “integrity,”
but that’s not what people saw—
they watched you reach for validation
while mistaking it for law.

Pre-Chorus 1 (repeat)
You thought you’d paint me reckless,
but your colors bled right through.
’Cause everyone who read that message
recognized the villain wasn’t me—
it was you.
it was you—ooo-oo
you—ooo-oo

Chorus A (repeat)
I don’t crumble under pressure—
I get clearer in the light.
You were counting on my silence…
but silence isn’t weakness,
it’s the moment I decide.

I don’t bend the way you pictured,
I don’t break the way you’d like.
You were waiting for my fallout…
but all you got was calm
before the strike.

Bridge – Part 1
How did it feel
to lay that blame my way?
Did you think about my feelings
when you cherry-picked my name?

Could you feel the silence
when no one took your view?
I know how heavy life gets—
I’ve been broken like that too…

But never on my worst day
would I do what you chose to do.
I’m not the kind who swings first,
and I don’t aim to bruise…
but hear me when I tell you—
my words can cut deep too.

Verse 3
I’ve tried to give you space before,
tried to meet you where you stood.
But patience doesn’t fix a pattern
when the pattern’s never good.

And now I finally get it—
the picture’s coming through:
you weren’t calling out my faults,
you were echoing your own truth.

Pre-Chorus 2
And now I’m done confusing
your echoes with my truth—
the picture’s getting clearer,
and the noise was never proof.

Final Chorus A
I don’t crumble under pressure—
I get clearer in the light.
You were counting on my silence…
but silence isn’t weakness,
it’s the moment I decide.

I don’t bend the way you pictured,
I don’t break the way you’d like.
You were waiting for my fallout…
but all you got was calm
before the strike.

Final Chorus B
I don’t crumble under pressure—
I get brighter over time.
You can weaponize your story…
but it doesn’t rewrite mine.

You were searching for a weakness,
something easy to ignite—
but the only thing you showed me
was the truth you tried to hide.

Now I’m here to show you—
the calm before the strike.
Yeah— the calm before the strike.
Yeah.

Outro
You’ll do your part,
and I’ll keep doing mine…
but this time with my truth,
not the version in your mind.
