Weren't together are those kind of? 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.800 Persona agata THIS is, i mean this, is TERRIBLE but 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.080 i haven't really thought about it since you asked. THE question. 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.040 I didn't I think i was, always again it was. Always, 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:55.960 Hurt no i'm SERIOUSLY that. I, KNOW yeah i think 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.880 it was. Always, Hurt, Yeah no i'm. BEING serious i 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.320 have never thought, about IT but i think it went 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:05.200 more topical. Than personal for those TWO years i dated 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.960 a girl that while we were, broken up that definitely 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:09.520 wanted to take it to the. Next step and it 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:14.480 never registered with ME why i couldn't because ON paper i, 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.400 should have PROBABLY until i got Back with TAYLOR and i, was, 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.800 like oh just she just. Wasn't HER so i THINK 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.480 when i was, WRITING songs i would either write a 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.560 breakup Song about taylor or write to a. 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.000 Topic instead writing to a topic. 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.960
