Was his relationship and breakup with Taylor the inspiration? A source tells PerezHilton.com yes, with the site reporting: "Harry wrote Alex and Sierra's song I Love You, and its all about being regretful about letting TayTay get away."
"I Love You" lyrics include:
"I fell in love with a beautiful girl
And she still takes my breath away
I fell in love in the morning sun while the hours slipped away
Sometimes when I hear your name, a smile creeps on my face
And for reasons I can't explain it's never out of place
'Cause I love you
More than you think I do
And I love you
Now you don't want me to
'Cause I love you
More than you think I do
And I love you
Now you don't want me to"
"And I know that it sounds so wrong
And you've heard all this before
I didn't come back and I wasn't there
I won't trouble you no more"
It's easy to draw some dotted lines to mention of "trouble" and "while we lay there on the soft warm ground" (Taylor's lyric about "lying on the cold hard ground") and the reference of "a week and 13 days" because Tay's lucky number is 13.
Of course, there is plenty of debate about whether or not Harry wrote the song (he reportedly uses the name Mick Greenberg as a songwriting pseudonym), plus Alex and Sierra were thought to have scrapped a Harry-penned song from their album.
And then there are those people who say it's about Larry...
Despite all the Haylor-related speculation, we think Alex & Sierra sound amazing!
