As he fades away Anastacia is seen just lying on the ground singing the song looking very distressed, the camera zooms in from above. Also, throughout the video, scenes are shown where we see Anastacia in a black dress looking at strange images floating around her while singing too. Other shots include Anastacia burning, a beautiful rose freezing and a dark wood where the pop star and the mysterious man keep appearing. While singing the second verse, we discover she is in a padded room in some sort of mental hospital/psychiatric ward, it would appear all other shots would be some sort of dream or dillusion Anastacia is having. At the 2½ minutes mark, when the chorus is repeated again, Anastacia goes completely insane running around crying, smacking the walls and looking extremely upset. At the end, she 'wakes up, probably after her fit. In her padded room there are drawings of the man lying next to her, as the camera is zooming out from above Anastacia rocks back and forth screaming to us.
