Music video

The music video first aired on MuchMusic in the middle of April 2008. It peaked on the MuchMusic Countdown at #10.

The video features alternating cuts of the band performing on a mansion porch and Serinda Swan as a disgruntled girlfriend who murders her boyfriend, subsequently steals his property, forges his will, and eventually cleans the murder scene before leaving with a mischievous smile on her face. The video was directed by Colin Minihan.
