Music video

A music video for the song premiered on CMT in 2008. It was directed by Roman White. Filmed in Chicago, it starts off in black-and-white (gradually changing to color throughout the clip) with Nail's girlfriend leaving him alone in a cold loft, and Nail walking through the cold, snowy scenery trying to find her. She is also seen walking alone in the snow, possibly feeling contempt that she left him. Flashbacks of the couple in happier times are also shown. Nail is seen performing the song while standing in the loft and walking in the bitter cold, air clearly visible coming out his mouth as he sings. The two eventually meet up in Millennium Park, and reconcile.
