Music video
editIt starts with a woman in her parked car, crying while looking at a picture of a man & her, with the band playing nearby in a parking lot in the night with lights surrounding them. As the woman drives she sees the man in the reflection of her mirror. She then gets out of the car to check if he's there, when he's not she wanders off in the streets, grabbing Scott Anderson thinking it's him. She goes into a late-night shop and sees the man through the aisles, seeing multiples of him. She then heads to the washroom as she screams and cries and looks in the mirror at the end when all along the reflection shows it is the man as he grabs a crumpled picture of him and the woman as the video ends. The couple in the video is speculated to have been together, but nothing is verified.
