Content



The song's narrator is sneaking home from an unknown location (presumably a tavern or a nightclub) "thinking up an alibi", only to find that the house is entirely empty and all of its lights are on. He discovers that, instead of attempting a reconciliation, his significant other has left, writing the word "goodbye" in red lipstick on the living room wall before she leaves.

Music video



The music video was directed by Marius Penczner. In the video, a man returns to a pontoon house to find that his significant other has abandoned him, and the word "goodbye" written in red lipstick on the exterior wall of the pontoon, and his belongings destroyed. She also leaves behind a videotape of her destroying his things. At the end of the video, the man drops the television set into the water, since his ex-girlfriend destroyed the television remote control.
