Right now we are celebrating Fearless and you know I mentioned a little while ago
That Taylor Swift tends to write a lot about love but it's not always happy songs
Breathe is another sad song, I like sad songs, it's a song about having to say goodbye to somebody
And the chorus just says over and over again, I can't breathe without you but I have to
And it's sort of like a mantra that I've said to myself on more than one occasion
Like I can't breathe without you but I have to, I have to do this, I have to, I can't but I have to
And so I wanted to write with Colbie so bad because I've been such a fan of her record
And she was one of my favorite, favorite new artist of this last year and I contacted her management
And said, "Please let me write with her, I really want to meet her and I wanna write with her"
And so she came into the show in Nashville and they made sure that I had that day off
And so I met with her at her management company and brought her this idea
And we wrote it together and it's about losing a person who feels like a piece of you
Feels like a piece of you is missing but you have to because you have no choice
Off of Fearless, this is Breathe on Big Machine Radio
