Music Video

The music video starts zoomed in towards an ash tray, and then transitions towards the mic where the lead singer, Adam Gontier, starts singing the song's lyrics. Soon, the video shows three teenagers going through a disastrous moment in their lives. One shows a young boy who finds his girlfriend cheating on him in the alleyway, kissing another guy. He is spying on them in his car. The second teenager, is a young girl, who just broke up with her boyfriend, and the last boy who is being abused by his alcoholic father. Towards the end they are all seen smashing items relating to their hard times into a hill. The young boy spying on his cheating girlfriend whips a portrait of a picture of them, smashing it to pieces. The second teenager, the girl, who is seen smashing her notebook of love notes with her ex-boyfriend into the hill. The last boy, who is suffering child abuse, throws his drunken father's alcohol into the hill.

Censoring of "hit"

When the song is played on some radio stations, the word "hit" in the lyrics "every hit we take" is censored. Possibly because it could be interpreted with a drug-related meaning.
