Music video

There are two different versions of the music video. However only the main story is slightly different, and both show the band performing in the rain. The first video shows a woman who finds a man (possibly her boyfriend) making out with another girl in a car. She then smears her face with paint and stabs and burns a voodoo doll which causes the car to explode. This video can be found on the "Bullet For My Valentine Live From Brixton DVD"The second shows a woman and a man go to a motel and have sex then leave. The woman then gets ditched by the man as he drives off, leaving her on the side of the road. When the man goes back to the motel he checks into a room with a another woman. The first girl shows up and starts covering the couple with gas from a can her ex-boyfriend used earlier to fuel his truck. She then soaks herself with it. Then she pulls out a lighter and drops it in the gas, only for it to burn out. She smiles and blows a kiss to them afterwards. Then it cuts to the hose outside with water coming out, suggesting that she filled the fuel can with water, putting herself, her ex-boyfriend and the other girl he was sleeping with, in no danger at all. The song in the video also ends on a lower note instead of the hardcore ending displayed in the CD edit. Also in the separate version of the videos edits, the screams during the chorus are replaced with the vocals of the acoustic version of Tears Don't Fall on the Special Edition of The Poison, giving the chorus a much softer feel than the intense vocals orginally recorded for the song.
