Music video

The music video shows a man who leaves his home all night and is later confronted by his wife about it. The two get into a fight, and the man leaves. He later feels guilty and returns home to find text messages on a futuristic TV screen to his wife saying that she deserves better than him. When his son sees him, the two embrace. Then his wife enters the room and smiles.
