It opens with a man named Anthony arriving at his flat and calling Stone's name, before spotting a note stuck on the refrigerator. The video then shows what had happened 13 minutes earlier: Stone at the flat, sitting by the window, anguishedly writing down things on a paper. A flashback sequence shows that Anthony had been partying out with other girls in a bar.

He suddenly gets angry and overthrows a table, causing him to be kicked out of the bar. The video cuts back to Stone, who packs her things and leaves the flat after leaving the note stuck on the refrigerator. In the hallway, the lift taking Anthony back to the floor opens just a few seconds after she passes. Stone then heads for the station. Meanwhile, Anthony arrives at the flat and soon notices the note on the refrigerator; he looks upset as he reads it. Soon after Stone leaves the underground, the video shows her walking through the city. She rings up a friend on a payphone, asking if she could come to her house; the friend answers that she 'could always come over.'

The video ends with Stone singing the song's final verse while dancing on the roof of her friend's block of flats. Track listings.
