The video begins with the artist, dressed in formal attire, seated at the head of a well decorated candlelit table. He’s pouring tea into a cup, which symbolizes him spilling the tea about his relationship.   

The woman he’s singing about is in manikin form. She’s seated across the table from him. Also, four headless manikins are seated at the table, two on each side.

The following scenes show him in therapy, where the head manikin is his psychiatrist. He’s disturbed, wearing lipstick, and using a red marker to write on a mirror. Also, scenes with animated manikins symbolize him going insane or losing his mind.
