The video opens with Nadia grabbing onto her lovers arm as he makes his way to the door, he tries to pull her off as she continues to try and get him to stay, visibly upset. He suddenly stops and with force, he pushes her to the ground, she knocks her head on a table as she falls, he opens the door and we hear him say "I'll be back for more stuff later", he then slams it shut behind him. She stays still, a tear falling down her cheek, one hand on the cut on her face, she removes her hand and looks down at it to see blood, her eyes soon move back to the door, hopelessly waiting for him to come back.

A girl with her own problems was just too much to ask for
Sorry, honey, did the plan of a simple life not work out?
Cause the moment the words were spoken from my lips
Your eyes set for the door, a full suitcase in hand
You've got enough troubles already in your life
And you just weren't willing to deal with mine

She gets up and as she walks through the living room, we see her clothes suddenly change; we assume it's the day after. Matching well with the empowering lyrics, we see Nadia digging through a load of old photos of the two together with a pair of scissors in hand, she begins cutting them all to pieces with a slight smile on her face, before binning them all. It's evident that she got a kick out of it, and so she begins trashing the whole room that's full of memories of him. Smashing ornaments, picture frames, turning over the tables and throwing everything in her sight to the floor, Nadia soon stands still and takes a deep breath afterwards, pleased with what she's done.

And I knew from then, I was already better off
Because I knew I could fight my mind alone
I didn't need you to hold my hand to tell me it'd be alright
Cause I didn't even get hopes up on it happening
You were a cold hearted lover, barely that
I guess I was just someone other than someone you wanted

I was once someone you wanted to know
Then when tragedy hit and I let you know
You suddenly no longer wanted to know
No, no, you just didn't wanna know...

The scene changes to Nadia sat in a pure-white and fairly dull kitchen, a glass of water and a single pill in front of her, she takes it as she looks expressionless. We then see the previous scene of her causing a mess in reverse, as all of the smashed items and mess in the room slowly gets put back to its original state. Nadia then moves from the colourless kitchen and back to the living room, she sits down and once again goes through the pictures, which are no longer cut up.

I'll get by, all I need is these pills that I feed on
One by one, my problems will slowly slip away
To the back of my head, I'll hide them away in darkness
One by one to the back of my head, and I swallow them down
They do me more good than you ever could
And believe me, if I could change things, I would

At night, we see Nadia lying awake in bed, tossing and turning, looking agitated. Sudden flashbacks of the two of them together appear in black and white; one scene shows them cuddling and kissing by a fire, the other shows them both walking in a forest, her head on his shoulder and his arm around her. The scenes cut to Nadia who shakes her head, reaching out to an empty bed side with no one there, it's clear that no other man is in her life like the lyrics suggest, hinting that this character is simply bitter and wanting him to feel jealous so that he comes back.

Don't worry about the guilt, I don't regret a thing
They say that everything happens for a reason
And I've found a man who loves me despite it all
And that's just something you could never do
So baby, don't question at night why you left me
Cause you did us both a favour

When things got tough, you just broke down
I didn't wanna be the one to carry the weight for both of us
And I bet what I have now is what you wish you had
You're just too weak, and I know you're gonna struggle
Babe, go cry those tears and suck it up
Life's a bitch to all the rest of us

Nadia is now seen sitting in the same kitchen seen in a previous scene, this time, everything is black instead of white. Clearly finding it hard to cope with putting on a front and dealing with him no longer being with her, she reaches out to a small bottle and pours a load of pills into her hand, as she forces them into her mouth, swallowing them all. The scene turns choppy and blurry, we see everything in double vision as the scene speeds up slightly, Nadia soon passes out, collapsing from the chair and onto the floor.

I'll get by, all I need is these pills that I feed on
One by one, my problems will slowly slip away
To the back of my head, I'll hide them away in darkness
One by one to the back of my head, and I swallow them down
They do me more good than you ever could
And believe me, if I could change things, I would

As we see Nadia's ex preparing to leave his place to grab more of his stuff over at hers, a transparent version of Nadia (who we assume is a ghost) is seen stood next to him as he looks into a mirror, she grabs his face and sings the lyrics into his ear, before pushing him away. He stands frightened against the wall, splashing water on his face before shaking his head with confusion, hurrying out.

Good luck trying to find someone who's perfect
I know I couldn't be the one who fulfilled that
Cause just when you think you've found perfection
You'll soon see the cracks that start to appear
Cause didn't your mama tell you, none of us are perfect
And you should take a look closer to home
Yeah, that's the only way that you're gonna know
Once you look into the mirror and stare into your eyes
Them cracks all appear, one right after the other
And now do you wish you had me back?

As we see him step through the door of Nadia's place, he sees the kitchen door wide open and with Nadia looking pale and weak on the floor, he checks her pulse and realises that she's dead. He strokes her hair whilst crying, clearly in deep regret of leaving her in the first place. The final scene shows the ghost version of Nadia walking down the hallway with her suitcase in hand, leaving him behind.

I'll get by, all I need is these pills that I feed on
One by one, my problems will slowly slip away
To the back of my head, I'll hide them away in darkness
One by one to the back of my head, and I swallow them down
They do me more good than you ever could
And believe me, if I could change things, I would

Little miss unperfect, always misunderstood
Now, do you wish you had me back for good?
