2nd BAT: Song: I don't want to talk about it.

 People's Opinion

MIKE:    This is one of the saddest songs I know for me. For me the songs about someone who's been broken up with, left alone. He still loves the person who left him and I think that's half the reason this song is so sad, he's almost begging for them to stay with him and yet he tries to be strong by not talking about it. Beautifully sad, this song makes me cry.

MARY:       I've sang this in high school during a recital-- and this is not an easy song to sing, especially when not long before that your then-very-good-friend decide to start fighting you over a common female friend.

JULIETTE:    A beautiful mixture of strength and vulnerability. He's defiant and doesn't want to talk about how badly he's hurt but at the same time can't help making a plea that things might be different.

RACHEL:        the most disappointed moment in my life when u broke my heart..... I lost faith in all human so much so that i believe no expectations will lead to no disappointments... and once in awhile a song like this will set my heart bleeding once more.... 

 What about you? What's your own interpretation on the song?
