[edit] Music video
The music video features young actors like Jodi Lyn O'Keefe from Boston Legal and Jesse Metcalfe from Desperate Housewives. It deals with two young high schoolers whose relationship seems to be the ideal, but which soon is shattered by a devastating secret. The girlfriend appears to be nothing more than the average All-American type on the surface, but her secret night job as a stripper at Jumbo's Clown Room shows a different side. Her boyfriend, upon witnessing her secret life, acts coldly and eventually breaks up with her. The rest of the video shows them both showing remorse over this hasty decision. At the very end, it is revealed that her night life was only being used to support her final secret: her young baby girl. In an Interview with 3 Doors Down, it was revealed that a later idea was that the woman hated her job as a stripper.
