[edit] Music video
The video was directed by The Brothers Strause. It portrays a young woman's inner conflict dealing with an abusive relationship. The woman closes off to the rest of the world, represented with the special effects of crystals forming around her. By the end, the crystals recede, symbolizing her success in fighting the relationship.This video was supposed to have a "darker" ending to it when the first synopsis was written, but Warner Brothers rejected the idea, and the final ending was written in its place.
