• "Fix'n To Break" continues Bailey Zimmerman's streak of anthems about relationships on their last legs. Others include "Rock And A Hard Place" and "Never Leave."
• In the first verse, Zimmerman uses DIY and building imagery to illustrate his talent for persevering through difficult situations.
  
  I'm pretty good with a hammer and a nail
  I've been known to do it myself
  There ain't much in this house that I can't fix
  We've been beat, but it ain't broke yet
  
  However, the relationship is pushing him to his limit. Zimmerman is determined to salvage the crumbling romance, but he needs his lover's help.
  
  Built this love up, stone by stone.
  We both know we can't do it alone.
  We can build this house back up or we can break it down
  
  The song revolves around the central question Zimmerman poses to his partner, Can their love survive the challenge?
  
  Tell me what it is you're thinkin', shoot me straight
  Yeah, I know that I might lose you, but either way
  Are we fix'n to break?"
