In contrast to most love songs, this one has cuts that are quite fast. It is similar to our song choice (Hiding My Heart) as it follows the narrative of a girl who is scared to open her heart to a guy. However, they also have their differences as this song is more about the girl warning the guy not to get too close to her in fear of him getting hurt because of her. The music video starts off with someone with gloves holding rose petals, suggesting that love hurts. The colour scheme of this music video is red and white, the main colours associated with love. Throughout the music video, there are cutaways to blood dripping onto the floor from a thorn, suggesting that, despite the girl's innocent look, she can also be harmful. In addition, the soldiers are representative of the guy's attempts to win her heart, and the fact that the girl is standing amongst the thorns suggests that the guy is willing to get hurt and sacrifice things in order to be with her. There is also a cutaway of a silhouette shot of a contemporary dance, suggesting that the girl is surrounded by the notion of naivety and innocence but her real self is actually so distorted that it might as well be poison to the guy in the end.
