Music video

The video was directed by Martin Weisz. It features the band playing in a dark room of a house. A woman (Beau Garrett) walks in the house, standing and admiring the band performing for a while. She then walks up to Ed Sloan, but he continues to play and ignores her. She proceeds to pack some items into a bag and walks back to where the band is playing, towards Sloan.

The woman stands there for a while, then she goes back into the bathroom, with Sloan right behind her. She picks up a picture of the two of them and throws it into the toilet, symbolizing the end of the relationship. She takes a toothbrush and then walks through Sloan, who becomes transparent—making a reference to how he was never really there for her. She goes out of the bathroom, to the door, and stops to look back at the band playing. Sloan looks at her, then looks away. She then leaves the house, presumably for good.
