Music video

In the music video for this song, Geiger puts on earphones attached to her iPod shuffle, plays a piano in a house, throws playing cards into a fedora hat, and starts singing. Then as the video progresses, water comes out of nowhere, and the walls of the house come down and she is seen outside on a field with a girl and Teddy is seen holding hands with the girl towards the ending describing a situation exactly similar to the song as having a broken heart.
