Many people blame themselves for something they cannot fix by themselves. Cam describes this in her song, “Burning House” is a country song written about a relationship that was destroyed, but is trying to get put back together. The narrator has messed up a relationship between her boyfriend and her. She keeps making little mistakes, but is hoping that he won't leave her. Even though she is trying her hardest to fix the relationship, she is losing hope of ever getting back together.

Although, she thinks that things are getting worse she still manages to talk to him, which is giving her some hope. The fights are more intense, and she feels like she is slowly slipping away from him. These two lyrics towards the end of the song demonstrate that she is starting to lose all hope, “The flames are getting bigger now...I can hold on to you somehow…” She has been staying up most nights to try and figure out how to fix her relationship, but she keeps getting hurt, because she is putting all of her effort in. Even though she is staying up most nights, thinking about it makes her hurt because she knows that she cannot fix it.

No matter how hard people try to achieve a goal they never know what the outcome will be until it actually happens. Even when the relationship is fixed, they don’t know how the relationship will affect their lives. Cam explains this in “Burning House” by showing a girl messes up a relationship and is trying her hardest to make it survive, but it’s hard to tell whether or not the relationship will succeed.
