The whole music video is in black and white which reflects the lyrics of the song and the tone of the song which is depressing and sad, by having no colour and just black and white makes it more depressing.
The close ups of the singers face clearly shows her emotion on her face and that she is sad, confused and in emotional pain.
The video reflects the lyrics and shows that it illustrate the lyrics as it tells a narrative story of a couple obviously having broken up or they simply lost each other and they are trying to get over each other, the women is obviously in a lot of pain and loss because she is singing about how she held his hands through all of these years and now she is trying to come to terms with the fact he has gone from her life which is clearly represented and shown through the emotions and expressions on her face through the close ups.
The long shots of the man and the women shows their loneliness now they are not together.
The video also has a meaning, which is represented through the lyrics.
The bandages on her hands and feet are given a meaning through the lyrics "these wounds won't seem to heal" and by her wearing the bandages throughout the whole video it represents that.
The long shots and medium shots of her in different places represents that no matter where she goes she always thinks of him and the long shot also represents loneliness and isolation from the man she obviously once loved.
The louder music towards the end of the video such as drums and guitars makes the song less depressing and maybe hopeful that she will get over the loss of the man she might have once loved.
